Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.
Youth or History
Don’t fall for the tripe of a conquering
Civilisation that wants to change you, integrating
Its morality, ethics, culture, and language
Assiduously, calmly Conquering the age
You live in by making it attractive
To all ages to turn away, as a hive,
From your history of warriors,
Chiefs, educators, and financiers
Whose beliefs are slowly eroded
To be replaced by the imposer that did
A casually psychological war
That divided families placing a bar,
Tangible in its flux of life,
As it reduces familial relationships to strife
And a love for the material
Replaced with everything that’s callous, cruel.
Their optimal goal is surrender
Of all that’s uniquely You, into a pretender
Whose history is dismantled
By its complete erasure and monument.
