IN THE IMMORTAL EDENS OF FEAR

When will end age of uncertainty
Kindled by human insolence
Most profound is that profanity
That extols fear at faith’s expense!

Ain’t they done with their slaughters yet
Who build their megaliths on our graves
Do read history lest you forget
You ain’t world’s lords but Satan’s slaves!

Two World Wars done, third one knocks door
Nuclear nations flaunt poison of pride
How mean is manhood’s metaphor
For winning wars, gore glorified!

The myth of peace, peaceful nations
Lay shattered in humanity’s bier
Life survives on false hope’s rations
IN THE IMMORTAL EDENS OF FEAR!
