& the salts just keep on spreading--
between Palestine & Israel,
millennium of a-saults burn in their hell--
collectively bringing bodies down
as a salty sacrifice screeches venom out
into the air,
& acidic sleepy nightmare scarring the earth dry.
& the salts just keep on spreading--
& the salts just keep on spreading--
what hope do we have as
you keep building your salt walls
--it's like a middle finger clawing a scab.
keep shaking hands with cheese graters
slicing papers of ancient seas scrolls
where knowledge could be foretold
of love and peace young and old--
but the salts just keep on spreading--
but the salts just keep on spreading--
all over the world into already perfect countries--
dividing a world into your words
like a dead fish floating in your sea--
wrapped in parchment to be served
as a poisonous choice for dinner of all our minds.
makes us feel like we're walking on a landmine field,
points jagged piercing unyielding fear shrapnel in our brains.
but the salts just keep on spreading--
but the salts just keep on spreading--
and we wonder why our lands keep drying out.
putrid, salty sour milk words
burn the back of our throat
yet we hope to find water --
we hope the moats of these salty
words protect us.
but what happens when the water dries up?
the salts just keep on spreading--
the salts just keep on spreading--
