'Awaken the sleeping leviathan'

Below is a poem written by a Well Words group member in response to recent events.


Shake Off Life's Troubles

In isolation we stand as unflinching statues
The guardians of time and space
Yet we divide our people into little boxes
Pretending we are kings most high
Undermining, soul destroying those we try to rule

Learning smashes this myth of superiority
The weak are becoming stronger
No longer subjugated by tyranny
Rising up to bring down past apins
Sinking stinking symbols of past inhumanity

Awaken the sleeping leviathan at your peril
The vengeance woke will take control
Countless centuries of hate, scream
The slave then becomes the master
The oppressed burst forth to control their future

William Thomas (D)
