Analysis of Weather Forcast
dark clouds collide
above the fainted festival
strong wind and fierce flashes ride
with heavy rains into unfolding walls
and onto roofs with leaking tiles
is this weather force letting the world know
what this land can expect again
the past hasn’t been forgotten here so
nothing is expressed openly when
tanks drive the streets before you count ten
tensions are building up strong
in the higher political echelon
of unscrupulous comrades
to soon violently escalate
if elections turn out wrong
the power play took a new start
heedlessly they toss peoples lives
sweet revenge is in their hearts
unrestrained they rob and strive
the bounty they already divide
rest and peace will not be in this land
if the world doesn’t want to understand
that these elite rivalries
and dished up crime stories
take numb forces by the hand
lucrative chaos has been planned
help locked in a merry-go-round
of corruption and child abuse
expensive schools but no knowledge found
murder plotted high above the common ground
the fire approaching the fuse
time after time provisional repairs
a mopping with an open tap
performing here no-one dares
nor is commitment a considered step
tomorrow stays tugged in cobweb
