The Glamour

THE GLAMOUR

Liberation struggles
Were recorded
And stored
As a value
Of this democracy
And …
I saw the hunters
Of this freedom!
But now …
Most are
The vultures 
Who are holding
The glamour
Of the
Sufferers!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
