Dark Light

A patriot
 In a hot spot
 Of deceit and filthy Rot.
 up every day
 On my Knees I pray
 A helpless prey
 safe not my stay.


Times are hard 
 Faces are sad
 No brother on guard.
 No one to share
 No one to care?
 Never fair
 How they leave a poor man’s back bare.

Wake and make
 It’s theirs to take
 Keep permanent silence
 Remain forever voiceless
 Hunger and anger
 blood and bones
 fire and smoke.

Living lies
 Coated in good
 The rule of darkness so bold
 conspiracies remain untold.
 My money my voice
 An empty hand has no choice
 Give to Caesar
 Be the looser.
