The Story Repeats Itself

Sadly, badly Not luckily Or fortunately Our story repeats itself Similarly and negatively We experience the same debts The same rascals and enemies No allies, no friends The same actors Under different names Causing countless thefts, misfortunes Crimes, fears and sounds Our story repeats itself With the same and poor ideas We rejoice, we celebrate While our country is indebted Depleted, humiliated and over-exploited Our country is in agony (What a funny life Below the dogs' poops Where live diseases, germs and viruses) With overcrowded sicarias and scoundrels We hear singing: Pater Noster et Filius Et Spiritus Sanctus. We are in a deep filthy dungeon When do we go away into exile? Similarly and ironically Gravely and badly. Copyright © May 2019, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
