Dreams made of talents, sweats and nightly
Toils; dreams to beautify, enrich and upgrade
The world snatched away mercilessly leaving
Broken hearts, sleepless nights accompanied
by streams of tears among the poets, the
Crooners, the writers, film producers,
Actors....enslaved by their own giftedness.
Millions getting rich from their endeavours;
In the backstreets of Asia, open markets of
China, Africa, Latin America, you see
Familiar names on boxes, books where money
floods; fluid cash from great talents
Who live not to see a single dime from
All their energies placed on these works;
The merchandise reaping billions for
Faceless clandestine merchants living in monumental abodes.
Pirates all over the world killing artists and poets.
