Captain Greenzone's Flying Pride Brigade

You've had your chance But you've made a mess of things Now sit back down. We can see you through The incompetent ones You've placed before us. Parrots are not impressive. We surrendered our culture Rooted deep in our ground. Watched in muted horror As you pushed us aside And claimed our treasures for yourself. Now we only ask you watch us starve outside your walls Of pride, So you can be absolutely certain This brutal exercise was worth it to you That it all worked out in the end... But nothing ends, Captain. Nothing ever ends. Our children will fight back And put you and your cronies in your place, Where you were lost And crossed all the lines you shouldn't have crossed. Captain Greenzone, your ship has sailed Don't fight the tide, you can't prevail Captain Greenzone, it's time to leave Let leaders come from those who grieve.

Well written and I loved the hole story. It urges you from time to time into some completion. Also it warns you of enemies and other things. Enjoyed it alot. My opinion.

Pride builds walls that keep love and friendship out, Yoni. Very intriguing title in this compelling poem. I'd like to give "Captain Greenzone" a piece of my mind. Love, Carolyn (And thanks for playing tag with us! HG just posted a poem that mentions the circle of tags posted here.)
