Grey man with a grey face,

Living life at a fast pace,

Rammed in like a multicultured paste,

Next to no breathing space,

Enter and exit with a pompous haste,

Leaving the underworld is step-by-step race,

Each contestant on the credit chase.
Ben Tol Dec 2018
Straight borders,
Carved by former rulers,
Hidden treasures,
Disparity and deserts,
Majority poor,
Civil war,
Super wealthy,
Mindsets unhealthy,
Transatlantic bombs,
Landing on the wronged,
Once an oasis,
Now no go places,
Oil worth billions,
Starving children,
International villains,
Attacking civilians,
In constant crisis,
Lack of human kindness.
Ben Tol Dec 2018
Standing tall,

Passing the test of time,

Young and old both entwined,

A solid core,

With subtle extremities,

Gained stature over the centuries,

Casts no judgement,

Feels no pain,

Fuelled by the power of sun and the rain.
