Sown seeds are not weeds

Sown seeds are not weeds

Imperialist nations of the past,

Lay claims to others lands,

To steal the gold from the hills,

And iron from the sands.

Time passes, they created classes,

Squeezed those nations dry,

Economy has crashed, lives trashed,

People left to die.

Time keeps passing,

Not much changes for the exploited,

So they now leave with their rights,

To the relative land they appointed.

But they are as welcome as those imperialists,

Who arrived to steal their land before,

Not welcome is the feeling they get,

As they arrive before the door.

The same arrogance of imperialism,

Though now haunted by passed deeds,

Must now face up to the fact,

Their harvest of sown seeds.

Hi Bydonz This is a wonderful poem Iย feel the
satire, imperialism has ravaged many a land throughย 
the ages ย it reaped the benefits and left the native peopleย 
with nothingย 
For me an excellent piece so well writtenย 
My respect to youย 
Best wishes Debsย

Hi Debs. Thanks for such a good comment to this piece that shows how there is consequences to actions, sadly governments are slow to right the wrongs of the past, however its good to see young people are willing to come out against continued injustices.

Cheers. Byd0nz.
