>You shed your  tears in the dark
>             bitter,  impeach and shameful
>             and you  groan under the weight
>             of your  heavy burden.
>
>             You bury  your pain in the hot sand
>               pulsating, biting and acute
>               and your face crowd with the wrinkles
>              of  your painful laughter.
>
>             Why do  you close your bloodshot eyes
>             to the  carnage? Why do you look with
>             dazed  stupor at the walking skeletons?
>             You turn  a deaf ear to their agonized pleading.
>
>               Cry, cry the smiling coast country
>                you weep with dry tears in your heart
>                let your anguish voice; your muffle voice
>                thunder from the hilltop
>                let your fire burn under the feet of their callousness;
>                you muse with drench fatigue
>                they tear apart the girdle around your waist
>                your defecated image shred
>                your face tarnished and your ego bruised
>               they  wallow in the unquenchable thirst
>                in the sinful pride of their bloody greed.
>
>                Why are you so silent? Why do
>               refuse  to growl and snarl your teeth?
>                You strut with utter disgust
>                 to the banquet of their unscrupulous shame.
