Brave New World
21st Century is dawning a brave new world
No longer should there be fear, spin & whirl
A new global order is descending
The shifting of power is ascending.
Advocates of such a dream have been many
Paradise engineering once shared by Aldous Huxley
Bewitching & fictional though it be
Could well turn into a scientific reality.
In mournful numbers it’s been told
By glory seeking politicians fiery and bold
With our dreams and aspirations held up high
Only to find ourselves driven sadly to sigh.
Though colonisation concept is lost and gone
Modern democratic imperialism renders a new song
From Korea, Vietnam to Iraq & Afghanistan
The cause of the nations will make their stand.
Each nation has its own living and needs
Each individual and family know how to live
Without domination and manipulation
The natural order of survival ever in motion.
To live and let live
To be and let be
A harmonious and peaceful co-existence
Devoid of greed and avarice.
