Celebrate Civilization
by Remigius de Souza
Humans – the first born, our forbear –
Were gifted with art and culture
By the life-giving land and water
That was long, long aeons before
The humans invented ‘civilization’
By the dark power of their mind
To divide and rule the fellow humans
And the life-giving land and water:
The same triumph becomes now our noose.
