The Goddess Sings
Around the world this sorry tale:
North, south, east and west
Determine their strategic goals
And ponder – ‘which technique is best?’
In every land the power fiends
Design new plans to catch the poor
In nets of debt they’ll never leave
Their only pay? – go fight the war.
There’s planning, thinking, in the boardroom
They’re thinking, planning at the war
There’s plotting, scheming by the weasels
They’re scheming, plotting in the mall
A billion victims feel confused
Their aching heart won’t leave them be
Can I escape into this shop?
The signs say – ‘Buy Me – Don’t Be Free’
*
The goddess sings into the soul
The aching heart won’t go away
She sings into the battle zone
The guns feel heavier day by day
She sings into the power fiends
Addictions keep her voice at bay
She sings again at 3 a.m.
‘Your drugs won’t work, I’m here to stay.’
*
She sings in the boardroom
She sings in the mall
Her song conjures symptoms
Alerting us all
She sings at investors
At landlords and me
‘You want something for nothing?
Well forgiveness is free’
She sings in all parliaments
The east and the west
She sings in each language
Lest just one thinks they’re best
She sings in the church,
In the temple and mosque
She sings for the homeless,
The lonely and lost
She sings in the refuge
The peace camps, the hall
She sings the emotions
That keep the soul warm
She sings with each worker
The builders and makers
She sings with the carers
The farmers and bakers
She sings to end planning
Based on fear and greed
She sings down illusions
Where fantasies breed
She sings at the soldier
She sings at the war
His gun’s thrown away
Won’t project anymore
She sings for the spirit
She sings for the heart
She sings for the timid
To help us take part
She sings away power
And fear is removed
When these two are vanquished
There’s naught left – bar love

I do think, now and then! I'd like it to become a song, but it will take a while.
mp3s are now being added to the members section (open to all members of
Wits End) if you are interested.
