Jailer From the North

We peep through grated beams in the dark confines, Kept in chains by the tyranny of audacious jailers, unending cynosure of profligates and imposters: ruining the destinies of million wearied sufferers. criminals fit for the gallows, morons from the days of the colony. dictators in military attires. and simpletons kept in power for temporary ease. our heirloom forced from us by old monsters. cabals of criminals, greedy goons, men untutored in reputation. Felons and rapscallion from the military barracks, too old for modern ideas. we are burdened along by colonial tyranny, in a country where destinies are suspended in the gale, and youths are forced into their own crimes of stealing. we could not speak our sentiment freely. we are fettered and riveted by their guns. The sword above us, tyranny of archaic mind. dreamy theorist acting as lords over multitudes of docile lots. men made to cringe and fawn bowing and stooping to the threatening of their guns. They armed assassins and sufferers alike, paid a trifling sum from the proceeds of corruption, to keep the masses away from them as old baron loot the treasury, this open prison of fancied freedom, where marauders employed by the states with a gun to kill, trans versing the south with AK47/. terrorist renamed bandits by religious sympathizers. from the porous borders of North, comradely of Fanatics and bigots of the sword sect. Clandestinely overrunning the land. Freedom is a crime to fools. those who dares becomes enemy of states. assaulted by “operation python” dance. or raided by Lawless DSS. This is but a Jihad disguised as government. The road is a trap of death, we sleep as watchers waiting for the sword. we starve amidst multitudinous resources, they Lend to keep us in Bondage. The crude in the south. and all the resources are carted away to the North to pay terrorist. A state crimes condoned. we groan, we dare not speak as their armed assassin are ready to silence the Voice of Truth. one more Truth for the Jailer from the North.
