A Poem Titled 'how Long'. Pls. Make Your Comments. by Yujin(m): 1:21am On May 26, 2012 |
HOW LONG How long shall we bear this? The strike after the serpent's hiss Which makes us live in fear When mourning in the mornings we hear How long, how long Shall the cock stand on a foot? As we starve of a bad tooth When all is left to rotten Whose effect shall not be forgetten How long, how long Since we dreamt in peace Like the sheep, we've lost our fleece But our mother seems indifferent To the apathy of these belligerents How long, how long Shall these vampires suck? See, see the flying hawk While we act the mother hen Or are we of an empty den? How long, how long Shall the spider knit its web? While our watchdogs are at their lowest ebb Emiratans, tell the daddy long-legs To cut the flow from their murderous kegs How long, how long Shall they dwell in deceit Living a life of vain conceit Go learn how to serve For we now have the nerve From my collection 'Arcanious Poems'.
