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
