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.
