The Urgent Call for Solidarity Against Violence

Political Deceit
The so called leaders profess reliefWhile plundering dreams through their deceit.Raping economies too weak to speakOr understand what the cheats reek. Destroying countries with tailored graceSmiling thefts behind a stateman’s face.They renamed the heist with open tones“Seizing of goods”, in bureaucratic drones. They tax the hands that build their landsEach migrant ‘s coin is weighed…

BLINDED VISION
There is so much upheaval in the world todayWhere fears and shadows come out to play.Insensitive to what they hear and seeLiving life ,shackled to their schemes. Adorned in cloaks and daggers they feel safe.Thinking power will always stay.Because the devil is out to play,Forgetting that kindness always lights the way. What lies ahead is…
