David and Goliath- The sequel



A new world order is on the way,
Friends of yesteryear may not stay,
Close when there is gain,
Turn their backs when there is pain.

The world will see a great divide,
One by one we’ll have to choose a side,
Sitting on the fence we’ll no longer see,
East or West it will have to be.

And those who sit on gilded thrones,
Should refrain from throwing stones,
They should remember, they should know,
How they plundered not too long ago.

Not for freedom, not for need,
But for conquest fueled by greed,
Destroyed cultures and ways of life,
And in their wake nations mired in strife.

No hands for David will come from the crowd,
Each day brings more images of shrouds,
The only way to stem Goliath’s steam,
Get onboard and join his team!

T’was written about two thousand years at least,
That three wise men did come from the East,
Now it’s the turn of giants to make their way,
Of two we know, the third is yet to make his play
