Yankee's "40 words" challenge...
I have no idea if this will cut it Yankee but I'm fuelled still by what's happening in my home country. To show respect to the victims I've not posted anything on social media except sharing posts about what's going on...and what people and places are doing, big or small, to help...or at least understands the plight of the victims. I am disheartened that a lot of my own people are rampant in posting "look at me I'm beautiful" or "look at my stuff" kind of photos. I wrote a poem to express my dismay.. from which I extracted the 40 words I have submitted for your challenge.. Thanks for the opportunity...

Letter to the world V: The Shut down edition
I swear politicians learned nothing from the attack on our soil, That when we are knocked down we get up with a violent recoil. Now they threaten and play childish games with our wages, Passing bills around like a actor getting a script in stages.

"It All Starts Over Again"
This is obviously a war song. I'm in the middle of writing a story, and it in the main character is fighting in a war she has no choice but to participate in. I wrote this song as sort of a "background song" to them marching to an ongoing battle. It is a mix of rap/metal. Italics are of a regular, flowing singing (by a woman in my head), while the rest is harsher obviously, (this time in my head, it's a male.) However it pops up in your head is up to you though.
The New World War

Die! Or Die Resisting!
Our army will soon cover the valleys & scatter the mountain tops, let the stomping of the people & the hoofs from the herds of horses rumble out the last true sounds of freedom as the warriors scream & cry out CHARGE! To fight valiantly to the death with honor, dignity, passion & with NO FEAR in our hearts, FOR TONIGHT WE FIGHT FOR FATHER TIME & MOTHER NATURE TO ENSURE FATHERS LONG TICKING CLOCK DON'T STOP & MOTHERS COLORS, TREES & RIVERS ALWAYS NOURISH ON OUR WATCH!!! NO! NUCLEAR! BOMBS! Nothing will be left. No one will win anything. We would prove to fail our children...our fathers... Will we join the few worlds to explore space? Or will the new world order prove to destroy & erase our existence?
