On the darkest continent.

On the darkest continent

a fabled land of yore

the eyes of the world pass over

believing in the lore.

Tarzan and Sheena we all know

but not the truth of death

where forced by greed and tyranny

there’s really no hope left.

They fight to gain their freedom

some fight to keep them enslaved

the fools who search for shiny things

know not what they’ve betrayed.

The fertile crescent rests here

the place where life began

a barren land of rock and stone

with history and riches in the sand.

The fighting is like always

we cry at their telecast pain

never really noticing

we’re part of the insane.

    Sorry G – I am worried my readers would be disappointed if I actually spilled the beans at the into.
