Stains of blood

Veridically they proclaimed
their commitment--
to gibe capitalism
to smother the bandicoot of exploitation,
And behead the gamut
of peace, of pleasure
..they the exponents have exegesis of socialism.
that, their monopoly.
they have killed innocence
they have severed the heads,
heads of the hapless,
the bourgeosie kept them in prison,
years passed to give birth to martyrs.
the perpetrators became the cynosure,
.What a welcome they received!
these bandicoots rule us, rule the world.
they say this is democracy.

i always hear the gruffness of insolence.
I cannot rest in the lap of mother Nature.

Democracy cannot be natural,
or what is wrong with us?
