Hatching the Heathens

Shotgun shells sound like church bells when you’re aiming to heal, No longer concealing something you hostler with a smile, When you see the eyes of those you despise, Those that have taken too much life to embrace the precious present of perception, Revenge runs like a river Mosses could never part, Tumultuously pulsating my persistence, To fit the final piece, To solve the puzzle without your presence, Culture cultivated conflicts, Decades of decadence, Helms of disillusionments, Steering us towards a powder-keg revelation, A man of peace is still a militant in the wake of Diablo’s dissidence, There is no such thing of justified killings, Only ending life for economic stability, Can’t bullshit me when your ethics are themes of fables, Not trying to incite fear, just sharing the truths of this rough reality, The intolerance tolerated by so many ignorant maggots, Not saying we are a lost cause but if you are keeping your mouth shut you’re just a bystander while the vagrants harvest the infection, So many hurdles to split but so many who can overcome a conflict of greedy governance, To many tyrants to topple when they trickle down table scraps, Why do you think so many of us stay strapped? Unity will be the divinity of the 21st Century, So come and askew the ancestral atrocity, It is ours and it is time to mend what went wrong, For years your parent’s have allowed the intolerance to thrive, And I don’t plan on dying without continuing the strive to question those that came before me, Never forget our Nation’s success thus far found a foundation on the broken backs of Africans, Never forget economics ignited the 1776 resistance, And the Civil War only highlighted the plague of intolerance, For generations we’ve been jaded by the justification of covering the cracks of a indentured foundation with mortar laid by the enslaved, Censored, questioned, and indoctrinated because gramps likes his traditions, Nothing but renditions of racist propositions to steal land from Native Americans Nothing but blissful bullshit to forget the fact that this was the land of the free, with some restrictions, Some historically cited situations, Guilt is something that their conscience can suppress, When the money is present, When wealth has no limits, at the sake of the impoverished, Greed is just the first pest we must end. Yet there are so many faults to overcome, And seven billion should be enough, Personally united because of our right to explore humanity, Peacefully.
