A REBEL OF THE SYSTEM

On this wrecked earth, peace was meant to dwell

The flames of love and joy to fuel

A home as tranquil as a bethel

A harmonious holy cartel!

But now all I see is a dried well

Where humans daily duel

Duels that are not to duel

Humanity growing daily cruel

Splitting in guerrillas of due

As dialogue can’t settle the least quarrel

Hatred bidding love eternal farewell

Can things again ever go well?

Who can this chaos quell?

To this system I hope to be a rebel

A new story to tell

So I ring the rebellion bell,

Will you be my co-rebel ?
