Fire

 

Peace  

Commonly refused

Music reuses the fuse

Crude 

wiling

To intrude. 

The smell of booze 

Creates a thick stench 

This war 

may have very well

Stretched 

the blood 

Miles and miles 

Innocent hung-

Men made machines

Turned man into

Killing beings

Long live longevity

There be no remedy 

For the heavenly 

Is the only retreat

Just beyond the sky

There resides

Alternate lives

We the people rely

You underestimate our reply

To any tragic news

Start chaos

Street warriors make sounds

With handguns

Shoot bullets into the air

So they strike the ground  

Like rain.

Seize banners of hope

Prevail the name of saints

Slaves slain.

Turn up the music

Play it real loud

Blast away the stars

Hidden behind the clouds

Unmask the elephant

Release the bearded lady from her cage

Carry the shamed out in chains

Bang the drums

Someone will hear

Knock down doors

Excuse your rude

Induced fire

Flames rise higher

This is the day 

Every tongue shall speak

Whichever the fleet

Preachers get down on your knees

 

Behold your possessions:

The clothes on your back

and your own two feet.

 

Military tactics

Emerging 

Hailing the figure head

Instead-

Pump his body full of led

Those who fall

Shall be laid to rest

Time to test

This propaganda

Bring fourth

Every prejudice

Every slander

I plan on 

Cracking some skulls

Dig up ditches

Make holes

For the unsympathetic blows

To a strangers face.

I'm carrying their bodies out in crates

Meanwhile,

Eyes thrive  

Indicating lies

Focused only on

Personal plight.

Unwilling to fight for 

Freedom

People of tomorrow

Be seen

Rhetorical misbehaving 

For centuries
