An Era of Freedom
An Era of Freedom
An era of freedom is about to dawn,
it awakens us as a morning yawn.
In the slumber of night it has laid dormant,
but now it has appeared at this very moment.
Historical precedents are about to be trashed,
as a new world order is being hatched.
The days of colonialisation are past,
so also the alliances of old are smashed.
Democracy in name only, is about to be refreshed,
by nations which yearn for freedom from the past.
East and west and the hegemony of one nation,
can no longer be the only solution.
The voices of freedom call out for a radical change,
as equal nations all will engage.
Super powers, vetos and nepotism as we often see,
will be replaced by equanimity to set us all free.

Thank you to all who liked and commented on this poem. Uilleam I must confess to being an optimist but I see your point of view which history suppports. However, I do believe that events in Palestine could be a catalyst for change or at worst a catastrophy. The dominance and hegemony we presently are subjected to cannot last forever. All the Empires of history eventually have their demise.
Thank you again for reading and commenting,
