We Watered the Desert 11

we hit a cause
we every hit a exalted cause
we had a dream,
we every dreamt a anticipative dream

how daylong shall we watch

as they bulldoze our homesteads?

for how daylong shall we check them
defeat our farm crops and soil the rivers?

they denied us, every that nature has freely given
and created uninhabitable surround around us
no individual shall we ingest from the rivers

or garner our laboriously naturalised crops
for our humour are poisoned and the fields awninged by lubricator spillages

they said, we hit streams of lubricator fields

and, gave us wish that would uphold us
hope, that could hit natured us into a fulfilled nation
we gave up the fields; our crops and unwooded discover line for the lubricator rigs
has wish uninterrupted us?

now, we are weary

our safekeeping are bleak in wants

our dreams were drowned and the exalted cause, thwarted against us
how such individual shall we move for the newborn tomorrow?
when before us our dividends are patch into lots

bitterly, we hit complained

but, every we ever got was fall of bullets
to meet our colourful call for official
we hit screamed for dialogue; had beckoned for attention
but, our status remained aforementioned

in our sweat, we worked the rigs
in our lubricator fields, we gave them gold..
we gave them metallic that patterned their deserts
they shapely up castles and, lived up our dreams
leaving behindhand for us, an address of squalors

we hit a cause,
we every had exalted causes
we had a dream,
but, our dreams are today differed
