Konstantin Konstantinidis \u2013 Amphictyon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where is this descent taking us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the East, lightning, it’s going to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The West in the role of crusader<\/p>\n\n\n\n
both then and now, for the land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John is afraid of the beast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the beast is afraid of John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they make the region a mess,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and from the void<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the yellow dragon will invade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many are the ethereal wanderers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
more are the dreamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Awake, they see dreams,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to swallow the earth whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the citizens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These… the swindlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who are greedy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
violent, liars, thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only profit attracts them,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
without barriers, without morality,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to chaos they go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With plausible arguments,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the fruit of lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fight for money,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
instead of Reason slogans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they set up monstrosities,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the walls are filled with writings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in the streets<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the victims gather. Will they learn their lessons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They lead us to destruction,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they lead us to error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every time the same violin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaders who deceive the people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They lead us to destruction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that our mind does not grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fools govern us,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with acts of folly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They lack reason,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
arrogance does not let them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In civil wars they throw heartbreaks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and they constantly commit crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They trample and uproot peoples,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and vaporize others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With their AI ally, they blind us,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and now they are altering their institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We Greeks live in pain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the neighbor does not leave us alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the party dogs, blind, willless<\/p>\n\n\n\n
whatever their masters say, obediently carry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greek people? It does not count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason is greed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the lack of leadership strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of international power Agents<\/p>\n\n\n\n
have handed over the Imia to the Turks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this country will be saved by the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaders deprived of Virtue,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
politicians tied to local and foreign centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citizens tolerant and fearful,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
political interest above all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And prices are rising at a rapid pace,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and they are bringing the whole world to its knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They lack political will,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and if they hold a gun, they will be silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They never set red lines,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and if they do, they change them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they embrace the invader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, when they are shaking the foundations of the earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
international law, some fools are ruminating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The USA and Russia made a rag out of it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and Attila cut Cyprus like a loaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything is on a collision course,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
each one is starting their armada there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one can stop them anymore,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the UN is powerless with a lifeless voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The West is divided. What is the planet waiting for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world will not commit suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, Peace will applaud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today when the Evil stands relentless<\/p>\n\n\n\n
war seems unthinkable (1\/2\/26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
