THE WRITING ON THE WALL

gripped by that euphoria

you did not take stock

that trap set for the mouse

then even the elephant met its end

alarm bells were ringing

the knife that cut the wedding cake

the bride it sent packing to the grave

warned you of the unbridled greed

warned you of the excesses of power

the warnings drowned in your accolades

see now their contempt for the people

hear the vibrations of arrogance

the ballot transformed into the bullet

gang raping of the nation

the trauma plain to see

the meek equated with the weak

robbery carried out in broad daylight

even witches and wizards have shame

that wheel has turned full circle

the writing is there on the wall
