Heavenfire

Heavenfire

By: Langitantyo Tri Gezar

Humankind always try to conquer

Eat weaklings, prey each other

After and after doing the same

Very disgusting: shedding blood and telling lies

Everyday, everytime

No one free from these reality.

From Adam and Eve

Illusion become their sanity

Religion become their weaponry

Eradicate people who oppose authority.

In the name of God!

Soak themselves with hypocrisy

Light a fire in heaven

All struggle must be done

Millions can’t be sacrificed again.

Anything left for our life

Like a sip of water in burning desert

Love that is left for our life

Against all hypocrisy and insanity

Humankind always try to love.
