Unlimbering Again!?

Unlimbering Again!?

Where can you go?

When the roads ahead grow;

And your energy low!

Where can you hide?

When the ground near you is wide;

And you lost sight!

When the fight is for basic right.

Empower!

Let the citizen decide the season;

Their habitat and their reason!

Atlantis never found,

Never would they be;

Live the moment – what you see?

Exhilarate! Stimulate!

Wake up! Where have they gone?

The legionary now lost in Rome;

The diadem plundered; now torn.

Hope! Optimism!

Always the next life follows;

Living over dead, mellows!

Rich over poor, swallows;

War over peace, bellows;

Laundry list of today;

Incentives and dividends narrows,

Where have they gone in Australasia?

You brought diseases and you bring greed,

You sold hope in the name of feed;

You brought machine to counter their projectiles,

You killed human calling them wild,

You name prosperity at the cost of hunger,

You bring cocoa in exchange of firepower and thunder;

You sale happiness in the silver screen,

The crossroads and ghettos – you know what I mean.

Sub-Sahara darkened and delisted;

You named them the Dark Continent,

North-Sahara empowered but convicted;

And you call it moral when they are evicted,

You bought thunder with fat and little;

You preached peace and the earth rattle.

Wake up! The coffee is yours;

You brought triggers and now the finger sores,

You changed history from its course;

Life is vague and hoarse.

Cheers,
