How sad it is for us to be
Hiding from life’s inequity
The question that’s been asked of me
Shall we survive the enemy ?
We surely know there will be cost
Our wisdom gone our valour lost
This tragedy which we maintain
Doth drown us all in grave disdain !
Evoking words we’ve heard before
Our future’s knocking on the door
Truth don’t you think that it’s too late
Barbarians are at the gate ?
