Gleo and the Woman

GLEO and the WOMAN Rommel E. Gabitan The Giant has awaken from his sleep As the Lion roared furiously The Eagle fluttered his metal wings As the Ox finally bared his fangs The Woman trembled with fear As the Lion roared mercilessly She lost her freshness and innocence After Three Centuries of Captivity The breath of death filled her lungs With poison from tobacco, opium and wine The Eagle saw her restless state He rescued the Woman with pride The Eagle then, made a truce with the Lion The Treaty of Paris, a pact they had made The Lion handed the Woman to the Eagle Without her knowledge and consent The Eagle took her to the skies With the promise of education prosperity and freedom The Eagle exploited the Woman’s trust He sprinkled his wastes over the Woman One day the Eagle quarreled with the Ox He scared him and drove him away The Ox suddenly bared his Fangs With his deadly Nuclear Saliva The Giant supported the Ox in his fight He flexed his Muscular Arms with Might He deployed a hundred ships with rockets To scare the Woman, the Eagle’s ally The Giant forces the Eagle to resign Leave his sphere of influence and fly The Giant claims Absolute Equality for all While the Eagle wants Democracy to live on
