Dungeon Diary by PIPROM(m): 5:19pm On Nov 13, 2010 |
I was thrown into dungeon Not into paradise promised, The year was 1914. Honey pot Buried beneath my earth Was unearthed, Uncovered, The year was 1956. The year was 1960 When fluffy flag flew, I stood in salute And sang the Anthem. Swashbuckling soldiers Swaggered onto the stage With illusions of leadership, The year was 1966. 1967 came, Rage reigned, Regiments railroaded me To refugee camp. In 1970, Rage turned to rumble. Rumble ceased, Politicians Pranced podiums with prattles. They pounced on my mandate And lined their pockets with loots, Rumble returned, The year was 1983. Rumble ceased again, More prancing, More prattles. Politicians Pounced on my mandate again And lined their pockets again with loots, They threw me into deeper dungeon, The year is now.
