Prey - Λεία Poem by Kostas Lagos

Prey - Λεία

Rating: 5.0


The spirit of greed howls

Deep inside the wastelands

of capitalism

All hail the new Sultan

Let the insatiable hunger reign

The poor will make a tasty dinner

Lunch will be made by the weak

All hail the new Emperor, the Tsar

Pray for we will be his prey



Το πνεύμα της απληστίας αλυχτάει

Βαθιά στους ερημότοπους

του καπιταλισμού

Χαίρε ο νέος Σουλτάνος

Ας βασιλέψει η ακόρεστη πείνα

Δείπνο γευστικό θα κάνουν οι φτωχοί

Γεύμα εκλεκτό οι αδύναμοι

Χαίρε ο νέος Αυτοκράτορας, ο Τσάρος

Προσευχηθείτε, λεία του πριν να γίνετε

Capitalism as we know it today is a merciless ideology for psychopaths. A well expressed poem, should be read by everyone.
