Call for a wise hero to save our land

The blind Inquisition, compelled change in Galileo’s vision, regarding the position of the bright Helios.

The disillusioned Andrea, who was as a filio to Galileo

Accused him ‘Unhappy is the land without Heroes’ *

He replied ‘Unhappy is the land that needs Heroes’*

Send through the land, a crier to call for a warrior

A band to search the land; set them no barrier.

To seek not a wicked Nero, but to seek a sleek hero

A notable, who is able, to make our debt a zero

Make the land not poorer or sorrier but be merrier

Pay the bills, cure the ills, not to be surrounded with frills or thrills or kills

A wise hero to understand, the foreign helping hand, in turn, helps itself to the best of the land

A brave warrior to arrest, the crooked corrupting finger,

That corrupts the giver and the taker.

Where be such a warrior, such a hero or even such a creature?

We call for a warrior, a hero worthy of our affection

To stand up for selection, in the coming election

Your Country needs YOU; to see the light, to join the fight

Not seek to divide, but chose to unite, and with all your might, do what’s right for then we can elect, not another mediocrity,

But select a meritocracy for our beautiful democracy. Dr. A.J. Roshan Perera Via email ( ** taken from Bertold Brecht)
