Coagulate the blood of the gods Escaping the hammer & I am a nail No tears escape this solidier's hardened heart, phantoms of chemical warfare See the genocide filling these nostrils The smell of death conquers all There will be no escape from these crimson stained palms of war Puppet masters secretly pull at the stars The gears of ****** keep us in line A boot to the skull, cursing the soul of man, crushing it downward into the dirt Infanticide you pull the trigger of your own folly, lifting and bashing the heads of the 'weak' As you incessantly drop the bombs of decay Garbage thoughts clutter your brain Humanity put on hold as your wage your wars deemed 'holy' While we choose between food or theft Gasoline inflation has gutted your sheep Fledglings dashed upon the steep rocks Of anticipated hope yet we still worship The dying dementia thoughts of horror Preach good man, the decimation of the patriarchy Political patriots dine on the blood of the saints From a golden goblet in your ivory tower

Diminution
We tied a knot in heaven and left it there suspended in the air unaware of the care that lent there we stare, bare of emotions for those we sent there prematurely surely it was god’s plan between that ISIS and the American man’s man but wait I don’t rate the Wests lack of responsibility they attest not to the culpability and without an ounce of timidity suggest that their interactions are near the vicinity of humility when really Iraq was left gutted like a listless fish to be added to the list of countries America and Britain not great Felt the need to mend not with gentle hands but with the bayonets hate. left without infrastructure a poor suture on a shambling wreck Iraq limped on to suppurate into civil war which we condemn and abhor but somehow haven’t the nous to implore that we have been here before The imperialist shadow looms like a hound, as we espouse civility; Irony abound.

Western Promise
I died in the black and white of the Great Depression I died in the blast of Hiroshima I died in the forests of Vietnam And none of them knew who I was But when I died in America’s recession I was lying on the pavement And my head was sticking out my cardboard smoking a cigarette Pleading for a second chance at life, another birth to come out of a hole I was bleeding to live the life like others Marrying together and Christmas was every other year When my tears fell apart at the sight of my children opening their gifts All the things I made for them and Christ, are you listening? I’m blessed at the moment and nothing is wrong They asked if I believed They asked if I hoped And they asked if I prayed And they asked if wanted to come back to earth And I told them all I never thought I could exist again
