Our nemesis relocated
To the alluring confine
Of a foreign city
To reconcile differences
And continue
To plunder the common wealth.
The homeland
They left desolute,
Yet the roused rabble
Applaud,
They shout
"Behold our messiahs!".
With garlands
And empty stomachs
They await the return
Of their messiahs.
