Crude Curse by elfico(m): 11:27am On Jul 26, 2016 |
Congrats with pats on our backs For sweats will no longer Bead our tired brows And dust will never again Stain our calloused palms For we have struck gold Only its colour is black Mirroring our state of mind Not the colour of our skin We hoped that by refining The black gold, our hearts Will also be refined But the more we refined it The cruder our hearts became We bled mother earth She gave us gladly Devoid of any “if” But in our charitable self, We gave back to the earth The blood of our brothers The once little spark We had hoped will light Our way out of this dark Of endless impoverishment Has been fanned by our greed Fanned into an inferno That has consumed us all And scorched the earth That has served us so well. |
