FEDERATION STILL LIED

FEDERATIE LOOG NOG STEEDS

We zijn zo vaker gezien
   Klunzig vuursteen om machten te maken langs onze wegen.
Geraasd in restaurant waar we zitten, gewoon om gegeten,
   Soep gezeten soepelheden.
De rovers van raketten zijn genummerd om af te vuren
Hun voor ze ons hebben gehoord, bij wetten.
Ontstemde intelligentie kerken straffen,
Voornaamste verschillen over hoe we spreken,
   Nu zelfs kunst schrijven.
Vonnis belaagde menige inboorlingen, Suringse hersens.
Academicus gegeseld door hun z’n eigen pijnen
Geleerde spelling test volmaakte emotie in opgestane primitieven.
Wij overbrugden dit ongeregeldheden rukbureau
Als kleuren naar prijs worden gezet.
Tijdelijk bezit revolutionair zijn berooid terwijl.
Hospitaal hapte gepeperde rekeningen,
Ogen van oase raakten geologische woorden.
Verleden zaken zijn vuil spel gespeeld missie loopt over
Grenzen waren bekken bronnen opgeladen,
   Gaven herderlijke hoog landers aan ’s levens stilstands hoog verraads.
Meester stammen zwarten rammen nog steeds verwerpelijk.
Wij rijkeluis hebben nu wildstands schatten
Als toeverlaats.
De armeluis volken zijn centimeters aan pijpwerk allenen geplant.
Wijsheid holen tafel uitgegraven struiken geliefden in verbonden.
Deze hebben we al gehad, dit is nu het nu.
FEDERATIE WIL NOG STEEDS DAT JE STEMMEN LIEGEN

FEDERATION STILL LIED

We have been seen like this before
    Clumsy flint to make powers by our ways.
Restaurant rant were we sit, just to eaten,
      Soup seated superficialities.
The marauders of missiles are numbered to fire
They before have heard us, by laws.
Devoiced intelligence chapels sentences,
Principal distinctions on how we speak
     Now write even art.
Verdict besieged many a natives, Suring brains.
Academic whipped by there own sufferings
Scholar spell test perfect emotion in stirred primitives.
We bridged this clash wank station
       When colours are placed by prize.
Temporarily property revolutionary are destitute while.
Hospital mouthed flavoured checks,
      Eyes of oasis touched geological words.
Past aspect are play out foul mission brims
Boundaries were basin springs recharged,
   Gave pastoral highlanders to the flat-lines life's treasons.
Master tribal blacks still brake objectionable.
We rich people’s are relies on wildlife’s
         Treasures now.
The poor peoples are centimetres of pipe work planted alones.
Wisdom burrows table dugout scrub lovers in alignments.
We had these before, now this is the now.
