"Eyes Wide Shut"

A present offered but happily rejected
A man-child structured by impunity
Fascism re-branded to spite a man
Hypocrisy and lies in double overtake.

Chained, an arrow of God in pains
Cries of woe and battle from the deep
Silence, the terrible cauldron has emptied
Bountiful reward to whom it may concern.

How long will this wait continue?
How long ignorance and complacency in this high profile intercourse?
Pitiful collateral ordinary people have become
Of the depravity and of barbarism in "high places".

Nature runs in a cycle
One goes and another comes
None interred for another´s survival
Or calamity at success door awaits.


".....The man died in the man who stood silent in the face of tyranny." (W. Soyinka)
