Maybe I missed it…
When we became anointed
Rulers of the world,
Taking nation’s resources,
Conquering their citizens.
And tell me for what?
Could it be for our profit
As it always is?
All the savages be damned
They can’t stop us anyway!
But the refugees,
The wars and the violence…
This isn’t our fault.
Why take blame for our actions
When you can blame someone else.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I gathered stones and pebbles
For a fortress to build,
Bulwark against the evils of this world.
Having fought them for so long
I am weary, fearing that I have no fight left in me.
My swords I’ve dulled, sharpened and dulled again
Beating back the cruelty and injustices of man
Only to have them retake territory.
This has been the history of our species;
Seek, conquer and destroy our lasting legacy.
So cocooned in my citadel I shall wait,
Quietly, patiently, until the day of reckoning,
Praying for this succession to end.
