Juggernaut - Max Geraldi

from all bushes we gather
circle and dance
under the naked night
meteor-showered by father

fireflies from mother
brighten our eyes

we twinkle
in our eyes
our soul

around the fire
into a barricade of wire
we hold each brothers and sisters to the vein
chanting 'truth'
stomping the ground where we were born from

with flora and fauna behind us
and the moon rays as our spear
we will be brave
we will revolt

shielded with love
and the philosophy of Dhakkan ' Guini
drunk on Thoreau

we will cast earthquakes underneath your feet
we will revoke our pandawas

elephants and rhinos will charge
whales and orcas will ram

we will stampede the thunder of your war drums
with our love mantras

O' juggernaut of the world
with your dark breath
you blackened our sky
your venomous horn
tears our earth's curtain
no longer can we feed your endless appetite
our
Dharma
dream eater

O' comely giant
our admiration has come to an end
we won't put gold plates
or jade cutlery
on your altar no more
If for that our soil is no longer sweet
If for that our land won't give birth to tomatoes no more

we will destroy your black sun
