The Albatross around our necks

 


 
Just who is it
holding us back
from peace 
and financial stability,
real security and true justice?
 
Who is devouring
our labors
and our sacred
Mother Earth?
 
Whose fat appetite 
steals the wealth
from our 
collective nations
and the next
seven generations?

Who profit$
from endless war
and pushes
divide and conquer rule
everywhere
their big asses land?
 
But inspiration comes
from the long
colonized and 
oppressed people
of Africa, China, Russia
who now show great courage
and strength
as they ensure
the greedy and arrogant
western white colonizers
at long last
receive their just 
rejection.

How will Washington,
Paris, Berlin, Brussels,
and the
City of London
react
to their final
denouement?

Will they vainly
and mercilessly
strike the fatal blow
against the great unwashed
who cry for bread
and roses?
 
This is not the time 
for us to idle,
our life-giving agitation
must grow 
with determination
and love.

Always....

Bruce
