Restless Crowd

At thirty-five imperial gallons Or one hundred fifty-nine liters Match a barrel of crude Which every day, millions you export To the disappointment of all others Fellow citizens, to whom your gluttony assaults Still, to Mother Nature We should be grateful Despite much energy resource With which they generate poverty And all sorts of mistreatment Each and every corner I turn In this concrete jungle I face myself with a sad panorama Where the crowd Restless, complains Of the public treasure, that old rogues Without fear fleeces O flabbergasted, but indifferent How many of you In the restless crowd review yourselves?

longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!
