We live in a world
with manipulated justice
Ruled by dictators,
with brute force
Groomed by greedy power
mongers to vote
With manifestos
written in golden lies
We know what we will
get in return
Corruption, exploitation,
and stagnation
Yet, we remain silent
robots, with all anger
But,in a spring of change, some daredevils uprooted
The corroded corridors of power with a wish for freedom
We have a modern, but
muted League of Nations
That remains blind
when bombs dismantle civilizations
And dumb, when people
cry loud for help and justice
Defenders of democracy,
created new colonies
After massacring innocent
societies to gift freedom
They installed puppet
authorities to auction the resources
To the ever greedy
behemoth corporations of Wild West
They sell arms to neighbors,
and foes within
They reap profits
while their bullets and shells splash blood
Millions ran for
their lives, to find a promised land for refuge
To lead a peaceful life,
with assurance of waking up alive
But they are the
unwanted burden for the economies of benefits
People risks drowning
in depths of chilly seas
Evades the scorching
heat of the deserts
Thorn filled paths of
unknown terrains
To engage in a proxy
battle with eagles waiting to nab
To prevent the souls
from entering promised land
This is the fate of
refugees, asylum seekers, or illegal migrants
Lucky if they make it
to the safe shore
Phasing through the camps of asylum
If not, await
deportation back to the world of despair
If there is peace, no
one will leave the paradise
When you can’t give
them the peace and safety
While creating
dilapidated hells for them afar
Exploiting their
resources in front of their eyes
Without giving
prosperity or hope
People will keep
flocking the borders
I wonder, how these
modern nero’s play fiddle
With utmost peace
While the war games
they played
Comes back to haunt
them in flocks
Stretching the limits
of their own economies
