Darwin Revisited

Nature waiting her turn

To extract her revenge

Those who think

They can turn the table

With their hired guns

Likes of Gaddafi and Saddam

Rose by the power of the gun

And fell by the same

If lies and deceit

Is the cornerstone

Of survival of the fittest

Those who prospered

Thumbing their noses

Darwin cited over and over

Kill or be killed

Laws of the jungle

Machiavellian logic dominate

Those responsible for all the mayhems

Enjoying their riches on their ranches

Or dreaming of the virgins in heaven

Saber rattling still the norm of the day

Macho men bare chested on their horses

Megalomaniacs threatening nuclear hell

Dwindling resources be damned

Go forth and multiply

Open our paths to heaven

Serving the poor on donations

If abstinence is the cure

Why shield the pedophiles

Followers of religion of peace

Mute spectators to atrocities

Carried out in the name of the most merciful

In the land of cow protectors

Modesty of women at risk

We, the silent majority

Dancing to the tune of

Our manipulators

Dividing humanity in artificial boundaries

Of race, religion, ethnicity and nationalities

They will have the last laugh

When we are led to the gallows

Erected by us

Don’t blame us

We the NIMBY crowd

We are just trying to survive

Trying our best to save our skin

Silence is golden, but

Not speaking up when needed

Silence is a deadly sin

We, the mute spectators

The meek, silent majority

We have seen the enemy

And the enemy is us

Nature will have the last laugh

NIMBY – not in my backyard
