Beaton Galafa - The Time Bomb

The time bomb ticks beneath the tick;
Parasitic symbiosis withers,
Deafened by the sound of a gun,
Blinded by the burning gas,
Engulfed in the smoke of power,
They can’t see beyond the trenches
They fail to hear the artillery shelling,
Deceiving weaponry in the backyard,
Prophet loads hiding in the darkness,
Loyal sympathizers exorcised arrogantly
A demonic spell strangled in an iron cage
They welcome all spirits ready to fight,
The revolution is not swaying
The golden pot remains safer
Flesh milled to pieces they are not giving in
Blood spilt defending nationalistic greed,
Martyrdom looms for the war dead.
The siege becomes a hell in hell,
Skin hanging from the warrior’s corpse,
Propagandists believe all is right,
The tick sucks more blood at ease.
Tick...tock...tick...tock....tick...tock...
