#settlements
I watch life's ultimate plan to bulldoze Play out and target any happy settlement, 'Till all that's left are foreclosed burrows Unwelcoming ghettoes A real to life Gotham City narrows Everyone knows Shiit flows Down stream and my life's the delta where it all goes And it shows As it never slows Better days? I'm out of those... I don't suppose You have one you could spare All I have to offer Is heartache and woes ©2024

~•§•~ It Never Slows ~•§•~
Encroaching on my personal space I am Bombarded by these images Children with hopes Dashed No links to the outside world Always under constant threat Rubber bullets flying, Tears running from the gassed air Vision blurred A memory of what they never had Forces keep creeping in The boarders keep retreating inwards No longer settled, should they settle for less The settlements all around them Rapidly they are moving but who is to stop them He who dare risks the draconian approach of Goliath Little David with his sling and stone Wont Match the might and force wielded upon him There is no escape from the eagle eye of Goliath forces Peace is only considered achievable by constant aggression Dissent calls for harsher treatments They have essentially been brought as slaves within their tuff The walls surrounding them, Locking them in They have to settle for less Constant harassment and humiliation is the order of the day The bus stops They've got to set down Awaiting verification No pass means no pass! Those deemed unsuitable have to settle for a return to the human cage Senselessly caged like hens Not to be set loose and free For them freedom is an illusion The desired but unattainable Shall we sit idle? Their hopes and dreams rest on our shoulders We must challenge the status quo.
