The Story Repeats Itself Poem by Hebert Logerie

Sadly, badly
Not luckily
Or fortunately
Our story repeats itself
Similarly and negatively
We experience the same debts
The same rascals and enemies
No allies, no friends
The same actors
Under different names
Causing countless thefts, misfortunes
Crimes, fears and sounds
Our story repeats itself
With the same and poor ideas
We rejoice, we celebrate
While our country is indebted
Depleted, humiliated and over-exploited
Our country is in agony
(What a funny life
Below the dogs' poops
Where live diseases, germs and viruses)
With overcrowded sicarias and scoundrels
We hear singing: Pater Noster et Filius
Et Spiritus Sanctus. We are in a deep filthy dungeon
When do we go away into exile?
Similarly and ironically
Gravely and badly.
