NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN...

Nothing new under the sun ...


In a terrible greed and customary cannibalism

 presents itself in everyday,

a blind and inconceivable struggle

for illusory power and slavery,

 enslaving both

its possessor as who is a victim of this same power.
In buying and selling;

prostituted both parties.
The brightness of a false love,

a friendship,

a smile sketched a face marked by anxieties and fears of the powerful,

finds reflection in the miserable.
So goes the humanity towards own degradation,

the victim herself,

 the executioner and slave are equivalent.
The absence of true freedom,

 honesty, solidarity and fraternity true,

leads to the absence of hope.
Infecting future generations,

children and grandchildren of identical cells,

 the dungeons of the soul.
The whip, the lash and cowhide remain the same.
Until when?
