Descent of women, children and men

Stop it!
Remove these chains!
We are suffocating!
Enough of these humiliations!

The groaning voices across Europe
Drowning citizens whose crimes are their citizenships
Writhing in pain from the new spectre haunting Europe
Ingloriously called austerity

That senselessly lunges into innocent children with regressive excuses
Reducing Herod’s massacre centuries ago to child’s play

That viciously attacks ladies purses
Hollowing out both their essence

That twists the hopes of the weak and vulnerable
In an immoral campaign of dishonour and high treason

That violently decimates pockets and kitchens
Reducing them to useless rubbles of deprivation

That unashamedly skins our dignity
In puerile swansong implemented by privileged brothers

So much so that foreign domination and existential impunity
Become charitable options in the face of corroding fabric of hope
