Online news and television channels
Display his unpredictable behavior
And convincing speech – the one of a savior.
At least for those inattentive hungry souls
Trying to break into heaven´s door
To keep it well protected from somebody else´s war.
Since eternity has not granted him its touch
He disguises himself in a uniform, as a crutch
The grandiloquence of his armies
Speaks of his lack of power
Reminding us of other leaders
Such as King, Gandhi and Mandela
Who stand in history like towers
To tell us of how love can draw people nearer
And give men a cause for living
Rather than a cause worth killing for .
If you see him around - I know, you can tell!
You won´t mistake him from God... absolutely not!
But, please... don´t underestimate him, as well.
Like a spell! Behind him a flood of blood...
His boots do crush roses in bud!
There´s only one thing he fears: wings!
He hates their deadly effects!
They inspire, they fan the fire,
And spread the ashes of a liar
On the grave where once rested a king.
So, watch out for him!
You, jailer of this god´s prison...
You, who keep hope alive,
Go on being accused of high treason...
You, loaded with meaning and freedom... you, who aspire!
You, guilty of dismantling his kingdom and empire!
You, poet, philosopher, believer, you who like a bird
Spread life, love and freedom through..... your W O R D.
Please! Do not kneel before him!
Do not surrender to his whim!
