AH LOVE!

The long hours of a hot June summer's day,
Have descended to let the crescent chart its way,
I am busy in worldly tasks, praying constantly,
To God, to save my homeland from tyrants' sway.

Promises that are made by liars are merely lies,
Which like a myth are only meant to 'die',
Ah love! If you and I could have changed all this,
Would not we have got rid of all these 'flies'?

These false deceivers who have come,
From damnation's curse and have become,
The 'leaders' -- ruining the poor and the meek,
Would not I have loved to become Samson*
And brought down the halls of the feudal?
Wouldn't you too have joined me in,
In vanquishing those who mock freedom?

Ah my beloved! I am sure that you,
Would have been with me and the few,
Who, God willing, would have destroyed,
These plutocrats -- 'raping' our nation?
