Clarion call
Greedy masters with potbellies
Stealing our treasures and resources, Feasting over decades and centuries, Looting for unborn seeds and families, How long will this remain in our treasuries?
In pain she rages and cries,
Knees bent in ashes lies.
Her eyes behold the blood-red skies,
Wipe her tears with wave of smiles.
A seed of life is all she craves,
The cry of a child, her name to save. Beauty for ashes and all she gave,
To raise her pride beneath the grave.
Alas!! Her arms canst not wait,
To hold her child that thou create.
Arise!!! Reverse her barren state,
Lest the clock beckons her cruel fate.
Don't let tension ruin your intention,
That vision, Those lovely affections,
To help the masses enjoy liberation,
Not just for appreciation, but elevation.
Please say yes to education,
So the inhabitants of this nation,
Won't die of depression and starvation. Please save this innocent generation,
From becoming monsters of destruction, Or militants, herds men of commotion, Arise!!! Stop the theft, pipeline vandalization, End rape, bombing and illegal adoption.
