The useless storm

A storm is gathering like a thieve


 


It will bring no rain this time


No thunder no spark of life


 


Its clouds might even be fully white


The sun may shine once or twice


 


Ponds and rivers will mirror night


 


And men will have to choose one side


While women will still be far and wide


 


What about homosexuals it is correctly polite to ask


 


Repeated history the natural cycle


The same steps on the same Steppe


 


The ululated utopian cavalry charge


Where worse than a horse is lost


 


Which battle do you want to fight now


How many of you will in the end last


 


Is your folly better than mine


 


Forsooth let us try again our trial


And be judged as the good or the vile


 


We can escape of goats and blame


 


Whatever devised me a smiling fool


While designing you a serious sage


 


Magnetized our electric life our while


 


Another storm will steal our greed


That is how long it lasts our age
