The birth of atrocities
Selfish pursuits of extinction
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Nuclear flooding tendencies
A few extra dollars in the wallet
A few extra possessions in the home
Happily destroyed
With smiles and bombs
Convenience of sedentary annihilation
Consumerism consumes
The reaction to the rebel’s rebellion
Nightsticks, pepper spray, tear gas
Tasers and rubber bullets
Riots in the streets
Occupying protests
Acquired wealth amassed
Hoarded in penthouses
Blinders blind tunnel vision
Foreign homeland policies
Father and Mother pardon us
Children of the sun, the moon, the stars
Absolve us
