Proselytizes the undemocratic
Its leaders, themselves unelected
Destroy freedom unaffected

Not shy of constitutional breach
Curb citizens’ freedom of speech
Its members’ veto power
Annulled in the final hour

But…

Despite jingoistic drilling
of NATO and Coalition of The Willing
Revolt brews in every nation
EU crumbles in its foundation

As the EU is bound to fail
It pulls the devil by the tail
Ignoring history’s lessons of before
Dares to call for an outright WAR

Desire so great, at any cost
Millions of lives already lost
Adults of this World, step up to the plate!
Together we eridicate this heinous hate

Since man’s origin we have been endowed
To lift our mind’s deceitful shroud
Wilder than your dreams
Nothing as it seems

You and I, in this orchestrated divide
March away from each other, every stride

This conflict between me and you
Both deeming our truth to be true

Passionately with scientific facts we strike
Repeating what we heard, parrots alike

I am no expert, neither are you
Can’t we reach a breakthrough

Let us see beyond this frame
Understanding its purported aim

Divide and conquer is their play
Not very original I dare say

We know very well from the past
How to end this alienating cast

Mitigating the other’s fear
We again come near

Navigating safely together
Through future’s stormy weather

Dear Child

I am very sorry
We told you not to worry

It has been now an entire year
That we adults live in constant fear

You wisely ask what is so bad about dying
That we delude ourselves by its denying

You ask if we prefer not to live life at all
Incarcerated by the fright that did us befall

Polarized, we are in such devious strife
We can’t possibly live a sustainable life

Please show to us, adult women and men
How it is to behave responsibly again

That we should really listen and care
About others and the ideas they share

Dear child, it is now upon you that I call
Please take over the control

Let your divine and youthful light
Guide us out this dark night

So we leave this history behind
Compassion and empathy in our mind

Entering what we always dreamt of
A world of love.

February 2021
Poem inspired by questions of my children about the Covid-19 world event
