Teargas From the Sky
Some knew him,
Some knew him not,
We all knew him somehow;
Nobody knew what he had become,
What he had always been,
Digital platforms were closed
On towards evening
And in the next evening,
There was nothing but
Teargas from the sky;
It was time to go home,
That was the drone of the chopper;
So much about the democratic chameleon:
Some guys are sworn to wars without winning,
Others to winning without wars:
When a man shuts off a country
From themselves and the rest of the world,
That man has lost the war,
With or without winning.
Teargas from the sky,
Suddenly the air is toxic,
God sent the rains to clear it all off.
