In time we stand still forgetting the memories That burden the frontier with poison and tragedy Lest we forget that the deed had been signed By prospectors and cowboys who’ve long since died Aiming a loaded shell towards eradication An idea that precedes psychopathy in terms of petition Yet ponders so freely to children so willing to point them the barrel and fire such rounds I urgently take the bounty for the hunting of the buffalo Using their skulls for declination, a sturdy stronghold Yet deep in heart I realize that it spawns back to devils That pay only to spoil their countless fruits of survival The cause paints our flag a brilliant blue The blood breeds red and helps assimilate too From their ponytails, against remorse, I could yank off their heads And perhaps repay the herd of bison for their dead We danced mountain songs naked under pale blue moonlight Imitating their gestures in the style of caricature The stars glistening, reflecting in pools of gory mucus The rotting carcasses that attract forest vultures Which we willingly hunt and devour without hesitance A rack of scalps hung from the duster, cloth sodden with their fluids Marking migration patterns on various maps to follow and stalk with Here we sing to the villages of which we’ve burned down Hoping that God, in His grace, could forgive such savage hounds The calls of doves forfeit an olive branch Which I gleefully wave just as they have My own Trojan horse stitched together with leather That wasn’t dried enough, and now radiates a stench that reminds us of their innards I’ve slaughtered and mangled all over this place Made worse by their stories of which I desecrate Publishing such influent texts that examine the earlier beds Of which they rose, so little prose, such daft fools with stone age tools Crops yield only ******* food made for the feeding of the poor Discarding the rest of them as bait or our personal ****** “I weep for the white hand that cared there for me! To wrap me in blankets and help me to feed The weak child in infancy cooing so sweet Not knowing they’d have him killed in his sleep” Annihilation fits best at the source, this genocide funded by the Master of Greater Deed and Good The weary dead, the weary live, the weary now stay in places we couldn’t stand to be in A gift that gives only twice, an upstart arch that cradles this land so warmly, inspiring us to embrace our homes The promise of freedom which notions an equality we could find only in remembrance of scattered bones The lawmen there, they never repent, they’ve lived all their lives and they never forget of their deeds, which secretly brings a perverse enjoyment none other recieve Unless you count rapists and murderous men which tally their targets and hold out the heavy heads of victims in satchels and bags A shame we now see them as monuments honored so swiftly, decorated with golden plaques Please leave some flowers in the mass grave I was buried in, somewhere in Arizona, it wouldn’t hurt to sense the illusion of fresh air A torso of tooth and rib and a dried clump of hair Look down on your works, ye lowly, and despair!

A Chant Without an Author, but With a Cause
In time we stand still forgetting the memories That burden the frontier with poison and tragedy Lest we forget that the deed had been signed By prospectors and cowboys who’ve long since died Aiming a loaded shell towards eradication An idea that precedes psychopathy in terms of petition Yet ponders so freely to children so willing to point them the barrel and fire such rounds I urgently take the bounty for the hunting of the buffalo Using their skulls for declination, a sturdy stronghold Yet deep in heart I realize that it spawns back to devils That pay only to spoil their countless fruits of survival The cause paints our flag a brilliant blue The blood breeds red and helps assimilate too From their ponytails, against remorse, I could yank off their heads And perhaps repay the herd of bison for their dead We danced mountain songs naked under pale blue moonlight Imitating their gestures in the style of caricature The stars glistening, reflecting in pools of gory mucus The rotting carcasses that attract forest vultures Which we willingly hunt and devour without hesitance A rack of scalps hung from the duster, cloth sodden with their fluids Marking migration patterns on various maps to follow and stalk with Here we sing to the villages of which we’ve burned down Hoping that God, in His grace, could forgive such savage hounds The calls of doves forfeit an olive branch Which I gleefully wave just as they have My own Trojan horse stitched together with leather That wasn’t dried enough, and now radiates a stench that reminds us of their innards I’ve slaughtered and mangled all over this place Made worse by their stories of which I desecrate Publishing such influent texts that examine the earlier beds Of which they rose, so little prose, such daft fools with stone age tools Crops yield only ******* food made for the feeding of the poor Discarding the rest of them as bait or our personal ****** “I weep for the white hand that cared there for me!
