Civilised. The savage who subdues
Civilised. The rapist of the soil
Civilised. The god, self-made
Civilised. The preacher, well-paid
Civilised. The master of the weakest
Civilised. The rat in the race
Civilised. The empty mind
Civilised. The pitiful soul
Civilisation offers me suicide
But I look beyond it
To the past, to those before it
And to the future, to those above it
All national flags represent civilisation, as we know it. Civilisation of subjugation, wars and exploitation. They carry no patriotism nor pride. Instead, they are sullied by war crimes, social injustice and economical exploitation. By the deaths of millions of men, women and children, who died in the name of being civilised.
We refuse. We don’t want something like that. We can’t accept. We would never accept that. We are Baka. We live in the forest. We refuse. We refuse money.
