Blood-red Sunset
Blood-red sunset and bruised feet
And …human defeat.
Minds set on humiliating humanity,
Degrading dignity, killing kinship,
Stripping compassion from men’s hearts.
Isn’t this the beginning of a retreat?
So hard to comprehend.
So sinister.
Man killing man and calling it a feat.
Man witnessing man’s evil deeds….
And what?
A shameful whisper?!
And a Nobel peace prize winner turning into a sinner?!
Selling us silly, big, self-degrading lies
Siding with blood-thirsty criminals.
A bold liar?! A consenting killer?!
Oh well, oh well
Unaging Time will tell
Unfailing History will tell
Who were the victims
And who raised hell.
Let them tell, let them tell
Why this blood-red sunset
And why these bruised feet
And how this humanity fell.
