[ZESTPoets] Revised: Husha, husha, we all fall down

'Husha Husha, We All Fall Down'*
 
You are not the only one to fall

Stop feeling targeted and victimized

Capital will consume one and all
 
One by one, those who once stood tall
Succumb to petty money-mongering
You are not the only one to fall

 

Look at people thronging the city mall

Sold to designer brands, instant delights

Capital will consume one and all
 
Communes of the east cannot hold withal
Women and men of oil accursed lands
You are not the only one to fall

 

Widowed women on knees to Allah call

And though you put a tongue to every wound

Capital will consume one and all.

  

Soon the eagle soaring-in-flight shall stall

And plummet to the carrion-covered earth

You are not the only one to fall

Capital will consume one and all.

*Ring around the rosie,
A pocketful of posie,
Husha, husha,
We all fall down.
 
A nursery rhyme
