By Law And Fear Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

By Law And Fear



A world that rules
By laws and fear
And by punishment
Then
Boasts human freedoms fundamental:
A civilization we built
But not all things that live
Conjoin and share
Under her weight
We chafe and despair
And groan
Grumble and change
But change be like
As the donkey round
The watermill miserable
Round and round and round
