They sat in the mud they’ve invented,
sipping koolade from the cup in our hands.

Our lips are dry, for lack of words—

our hopelessness
Oh, the economic darkness
that hangs over our heads

gave us Barabbas;
to rule over a weakling lamb.
_____
Let’s go the West
Let’s got to the west
Let’s go and drink
milk and honey.
Alas, no one knew what was
in stored —
a belly filled with illusional
promises, and hopes;
the catalyst of wanderers.
______
We died with our kids
We died from severe hunger;
Enroute to Rome.

When help never came

We died unfulfilled
Cause our leaders emptied
the destiny in our cups
as we wandered like sheeps
without shepherds.

Ah, we died like animals
We died like we were not humans

Unfulfilled.
Gone too soon.
Like a candle;
after the storm.

Millions will join us…
As long us greedy people
Rule the land of my fathers.
