Revolution Falling On Deaf Ears

Life skids by on technology's wheels
Wheels roll on, take to road
Road to speed earth to its destiny
Destiny uncertain in whiff of corruption
Corruption sidled through the back door of yesterday
Yesterday I lingered in the stilled breeze
Breeze blows the stench through the cities
Cities race to gather cash to excavate the future
Future lost in the furore of enraged fists
Fists furious in the revolutionary fervour
Fervour lost on the political sandcastle attendants
Attendants tied fast to their seats
Seats of power silent to the ringing telephone
Telephone blares angrily, unanswered in the void
Void to float the future, star maps unfold
Unfold to the universe traced out in past by Galileo
Centuries back in the ether, where the lost emails fell
Fell on eardrums drumming nothing
Nothing whispered back from the authorites,
Authorities nothing to report, none to name
Name noone, naming noone else,
Else earth collide with truth
Truth falls on punctured eardrums.
