Listen to the voice of the poet

Albix

 

 

Come on big men of the world

You that owe the power

You have already had much money

To move on soldiers

You have already had much gold

To feel stronger

You have already had luxury palaces

To live comfortably safer in

And fields, ground, soil, trees,

Rivers, lakes and seas.

 

You have taken in everything your eyes can see to the horizon.

 

But do you really believe that your power will last forever?

 

Don’t you remember Ramses the Third,

Cyrus of Persia,

Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar

Alexander the Great,

the emperor Augustus

and all the kings of the past up to Napoleon?

 

You’re now inventing new richness made of nothing

You’re exploiting the soil under its surface

And even you’re searching for more in the universe

Still cheating the poor!

 

Listen to the voice of the poet men of power:

don’t never forget

for whom God created all the things of the world!

    A call to the powerful that are deaf to the words of prophets and poets, blinded by illusions they search for the city of Cibola. Well written

    • Albix

      Thanks very much indeed Sorenbarrett. You are really very kind. I feel stronger when another poet shares with me my deep feelings. Thank you

      • sorenbarrett

        It is my pleasure
