They come,
always From Ruthless societies
Of beggars, thieves and whores
Harbringers of endless wars
Prone to violence Royal bloodlines
tainted with hatred of kin
Sinful beasts perpetual liars
murderous scum, lusting for power
Reeking of gin Having false modesty
religious pomposity to name afew
Misplaced loyalty
for both god and country
Pyrite kings with majestic dreams of
Lost cities streets, paved with gold
Free reign to plunder
Total annihilation of whatever nation it was
Of others treasured relics sacred sites
Uninvited guests(you know the rest)
Taking everything in sight
and their dreams, too
Fool’s gold Kindness never considered
Lustful deceit bearing interest
despoiler of souls
Delivered in overwhelming quantities
Precious treasures stolen thrice
The dream, the means and the future
Living At the Edge of sorrow
revealing the hidden truths
Yesterday matters Basking in the glow
Of this place under the sun
Asking for a chance for the love
To be revealed back into the flow
of everyday happenstance
While learning steps to the dance
Leaves in the wind seem to know
Days and nights warming the cold
With the rise and ebb of waves within
Making progress in all ways we need to grow
Not just in the hit and run
we’ve seen it all before
Not just the standard come and go
Came and stayed
Murdered, pillaged and worse
Made subject to serve
Enslaved
