Empty Shells
Empty Shells
A wrong leader in power
Frustrates all hopes
The poets will not sing any new songs
A dullness may take over
Natural purposes retarded
It even makes you wonder
If God intended grace
To allow to build a dream
Of rainbow or embrace
Greed will tip the balance
Plans and semi-plans
Of ideologues and clans
Will limit natural choices
People in total loss
It finally will lead
To sacrificial lamb … Love
To be summoned to submit in the chaos!
One possible result is:
Empty shells may seize the day!
