They sing loud and noisy
they dance naked and hungry
they beat the drums
they blow the trumets
they scatter the dust
from their stampeding feet.

They scatter the dust
from their stampeding feet
the dust of ignorance
the dust of poverty
the dust of cruelty and pain.

They scatter the dust
from their stampeding feet
the dust of hunger and shame

And callous human tendencies
that trample innoncence and beauty
and butcher sanity and morality
at the alter of greed

The crucible of power
the crude manifestation
of the ignoble and atrocious

And they beat the drums.

They beat the drums
and blow the trumpets
they parade their influence
and march in the charade
the silent voices
drowned in the tumultuous drumbeat
of the pain and wretchedness
of the anniversary march.

They sing loud and noisy
they dance naked and hungry
they beat the drums
they blow the trumpets
they scatter the dust
from their stampeding feet.

please read the mis-spelled lines as;

they blow the trumpets
at the altar of greed

Very evocative,Thanks.

"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
