A poem portraying the mass industrialisation and colonialism by the western states as destructive and evil.
A thousand feet of trepidation,
Pass the walls that divide.
Their arrogance spills foreign tongue,
And boarders lay savagely broken.
Nations crumbling under,
The weight of advancing technology.
The mass hysteria of impending devastation,
Brings the world to its knees.
Those still stood, fight for survival,
To hold close the natural world,
And spill the blood of the western dream.
Let it rot and fertilise the soil of indignation.
War machines, and reapers sow the seed,
Of society and spread the prologue of industrialisation
Like a prayer to the deaf.
Deaf through choice and intelligently ignorant.
Jungles and and fields slain to make battery farms,
Land consumed with the dreams of bourgeois culture.
Resources consumed like a cancer.
People enslaved and warped into factories.
The innocent pay penance for their silence.
Heretics sit and wait for nations to crumble
Under the weight of their demand.
To take and consume it all
Ideas and beliefs of the world delving-
into the future is the façade and the mask of the west.
Beaten and broken in the dust,
The bodies of the free are chained.
They work through blood and bone
To supply the gods of the west.
Colonialism has fed the rich and consumed the poor.
The worlds people are divided and broken.
