ENOUGH!



I admit I’m not a revolutionary,
They say I’m against the cause,
I believe in building a fortress,
Not stoning fragile doors!
 ***
They say I’m not allowed to speak
Nor allowed to raise my voice
My speech is not to their liking
So simply shouldn’t be heard!
 ***
I see so many angry views
Some noble, some disturbing
I see rebels without a cause
Others advocates of liberty
 ***
Now tell me oh great worrier
Oh guardian of autonomy
In all the month that passed
Do you know what you’re fighting for?
 ***
Are you fighting for a country?
Are you fighting for the poor?
Are you fighting for the ones who died?
Or the ones who were reborn?
 ***
For those fighting to snatch a piece
To crown themselves monarchs
My country is not a corps
Its roots are set since eternity
 ***
It survived invaders, traitors and wars
Greedy insignificant trivial minds
Will soon be forgotten,
A blimp in history to inconsequential to be mentioned
