Old and New 4 : Continue To Sing

OLD AND NEW 4 : CONTINUE TO SING Sipping cold champagne in silver cuff links at Thai restaurants eating red curried prawns while workers gape at former leaders sold Forlorn women starve in naked hospital corridors rulers drool in blue pools with pink jewelled lovers Rushing from airport to airport bargaining for who knows On plains of poverty children whimper bony arms in tattered sad sleeves Slick smiles in linen jackets mansions highly securitied Ideals trickling through loamy soil deep it will surely root anew Waves upon waves descend embracing hills with a roar and throaty directions to stop senseless hacking Life rebirths from an unknown hole Continue to softly sing simple songs of freedom exhale from a glittering axis knowing sacred geometry ©GhairoDanielsPoetry1998
