In these times of fanatic fear
The cuckoo sings songs of cheer
Assuring trembling tender hearts
Let my humble poems join!
In these times of cruel lust
The voice sings tunes of trust
Let my lowly lyrics join!
This is not the spring of diversity
When flowers of all colours bloom
The arrogance of the elephant
Tramples the garden to gloom
When the air groans in despair
The voice sings a song of hope
Let my lowly lyrics join!
Cries of pain rise from low villages
Beaten and trodden by high feet
Thought virus lurk in dark corners
Step not on the feverish street
In the times of gross insanity
A little voice tweets
of sanity
Let my lowly lyrics join!
Long may be the demon’s night
But will surely dawn the morn
Out of the debris a people free
In our dear land will be born
Sing, sing, O cherubim cuckoo
Alone you’re not in the song
Let my heart and soul join!
