for seven centuries..
you, middle east,
the old man of sorrow
dreamt of a sky..
raining gold
and of a sea..
bringing diamond
forgetting your own dust..
the man and the land
till the miracle happened,
after you sold the land
the two precious.., found
in your own dust as one..
and that one..
is oil
so you lost your calm,
and got furious..
aggressive and neuropsychotic
just about to be..
in total, schizophrenic
thorazine will make you calm
so take thorazine, middle east
and leave oil..
to the doctors.
