West
of civilisation︎
A place there was where I was born.
Go West! They sung.
Peace, rule of law.
Colossus mighty terrifying, tall.
Slays her rivals
home, abroad.
Now banksters, bailouts
gilts and greed.
System ignores the highest needs.
A shadow haunts the lonely West.
Chased luxe and gold
and damned the rest.
