WE ARE LOCUST

WE ARE LOCUST

Ricardo Antonio Garcia

If I ask

a repressed country to surrender its heart

in the shallow chest

of a controlling regime, I would

provide the tool

to cut the imprisoning chains.

The relief of God is Man

and our intolerance to the bridal bit

shall be overcome

If I ask

to ban these efforts from our humanity

the drowning population

must learn to swim against the current

that handicapped their free minds.

The purpose is God

and in whose Light we all become redeemed.

If I ask

why do these nations suppress their people

then the sincerity in which I ask

must not be ignored by powers proxy.

This tool that I offer

is the Wisdom of the ages

spinning and weaving our sensibilities

from the Chinese Junk

to the shores of dark oppression.

When will mankind lift his cruel hand

from the face of innocence?

When will the constant tortures and rape

end its rein of brutalities?

We are not civilized in a World of civilization.

We are no more than a locust.
