Speeding Train



Flash floods, mud slides, quakes, and fierce brush fires flare

Levvies brake and filfthy is in the air,

Helicopters downed and burnt humvees,

Terrorists and their atrocities.



Teachers in the universities

Teaching treason or perversities,

Using free speech boldly to uproot

What the honest man considers good.



Making fools of hero patriot,

Who clings  fast to values and to God,

Politicians selfish or inane

Cannot see the speeding rushing train.



Monsters get a slap upon the wrist,

Thugs and criminal are quick dismissed,

Without much ado they are released,

To commit more crime and have a feast.



Before court they haul the brave marine,

Jurists teach the hero discipline,

Jurists do decide on peace and war,-

Hail to those that wear the Robe Noire!.



Children raped and beaten weep and groan,

Locust swarms ignore the border zone,

Fools are made of those that patiently

Wait their turn to enter legally.



On the campus students haze and swill,

And the hapless parents pay the bill,

Common sense good judgment went astray,

Media the warrior betray.



Politicians play the lute and lyre,

While the citadel is burned in fire,

As was done in Rome some time ago,

But these days some finger the oboe.



'mongst the winds the best is the oboe,

With its plaintive piping of great woe,

And its unsurpassed intriguig tone,

Trumping windbags, bugles and trombone.



Faster comes the train - out of control,

Whistling, siffling, hooting  like an owl,

Be there some that fear an accident

If it speeds too fast around the bend?.



Faster comes this train - out of control,

The locomotive is out of coal,

Toward the abyss with all abord

Runs the train  "Marana Tha" !  -  come Lord.!
