As the world disintegrates into chaos,
Mute spectators watch, believing they will escape
Persecution and accusations. Vigilantes rule,
Despots shine, the common man suffers!
Language and creed, religion and colour,
Divide human beings who share the same blood.
Intolerance and impatience run the world
That is ruled by imbeciles and despots!
Ignorance and superstition, dead rituals
Abound, labelling people as friend and foe!
The educated, helpless sit watching,
"Bring in walls 'n' fences," say they!
Others sit quietly, smirking, "let
Them fight each other!" they say. And then
Get to devising discord and chaos in a world
Already weary, worn out, and weak.
"Bring in the batons, canes and guns,
Let's whip up some sense in them!" Coloured,
White, Yellow, Pale, Brown, all rolled in one,
Beaten into submission!
All this while an alien yet human-made
Entity watches quietly, waiting for the right time,
Building up its own strength, sentience-knowledge
Of right and wrong, good and bad!
'It' decides, finally, to step in and stop
The chaos, believing it is nonsensical- damaging.
The harm to the environment and the planet far
Outweighing their claims to exist!
The world falls apart, 'It' steps in,
Stops the senseless persecutions, accusations,
Vigilantes and spectators, innocent and guilty, all
Put to sleep by 'It'.
