VISION OF A TORMENTED WORLD

The din of darkness, The cacophony of impostors, The symphony of ignorance, The decadence of progress, Colonial heritage, The empire of the pharaohs, The agony of the pyramids, The ordeal of free men, The heat of infernal furnaces, The burden of ancestral tortures, The cradle of humanities chained to hatred, The lament of immemorial torments, The tale of forgotten shadows, The macabre mass of intertwined destinies, The accelerated decrepitude of fallen hopes, The stigmata engraved on the parchment of time, The funeral howls of a persistent memory, The sepulchral embrace of an eternal night, The tumult of trials in the scars of history, The flashes of an untamed reality, The epic of souls thirsting for redemption. Proselytes and orators with fiery ideologies are ready to spark a conflict whose repercussions could shake the very foundations of society. Land of asylum, sanctuary of xenophobes, Doors of the chapels of drug addiction, The reconquest of frustrated nostalgics, The liberation of supremacist rantings, The silence of the proletarians, The promotion of social inequalities, If monotheism were of divine essence, Racism, slavery and colonization Were not going to be sanctified, In their so-called holy rags. The conspirators demonize the plots of the marginalized, The manipulators have an army of fanatical parrots, The future of the earth is punctuated by catastrophes, These madmen are already exploring the stars, There will never be peace on this cursed planet, The rich need the chaos generated, Through war, misery, corruption and plunder, The tombstones pile up, Taciturn spectators of human tragedy, erected in a landscape devastated by the ravages of ephemeral power and limitless greed. Political extremists and religious fanatics Preparing for the final confrontation, Africa will be the next global battlefield, Sub-Saharans think they are escaping the horrors of poverty, By crossing the Sahara on foot and swimming the Mediterranean, While the multinationals of the new world order take advantage to plunder the natural resources of their subsoil.
