Chewing upon fingers rotten and curled
knowing everything makes sense in a senseless world
inglorious, bedridden, they hide behind trees -
serving up genocide, well-spoken and civilised
clawing at the insides of our sordid society
wearing TNT like it's the latest fashion
they smile politely and walk upon our streets -
brainwashed and stupefied, Dumb-hounds corrupted and paralysed
crawling down the path of a religion
birthed from self-righteousness and bomb-smoke
upon their jealousy, their juvenile blinding faith
we suffocate, gag and choke
visualising the world from eyes
of despotic marauders
selfish needs defeats the objective
desensitised clones bound to extremist orders
innocence green-eyed and bastardised
reciting prayers bound together with cyanide
they call upon a Lord that no longer cares
alas the tendril of insanity catches them unawares
for 'tis within the womb of bloated belief
that martyrs are bred,
sanity unreeling, dangerously unfeeling,
and willing to allow our streets run red.

Inspired by David Bowie, your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
