They Made Us Naked

The rotten smelling pigs of the twenty first century With characteristics of Geoge Orwell Pig "Nepoleon". Bad leaders in a paradise humming in disgust They made us hopeless not life. Torture us unkindly regardless of our sorrow' We are painted black and red changing like the chameleon In which you hardly identify the colour we are made of. They made us naked, strip off our dreams IN them we built our hope on but it failed. In them lies our labour but no reward Continually, they exploit us happily. All rivers run into their seas, yet they satisfy not Remember you, in much wisdom is much grief. Gather you silver, gold and crude to your barn, Or peculiar treasure of the kings It shall soon end , and you suffer like us. Naked we are, naked shall you be soon. You are naked and naked we are when created So naked shall we all go when the other phase opens. You made us naked and shameful Took all that belongs to us And with held our joy and our kindness wrought. Vexation of spirit we are left with remember wisdom excel folly as light excel darkness And no profit under the burning sun. We turn ourselves to behold wisdom to conquer folly The wise man's sight remain in his head You shall weep some day and there shall be no one to cloth you.
