The Drones Are Coming
There's a war on peace
dem dat follow
now
dem lead
There's a war on need
dem dat suffer
now
dem bleed
In this war
of
rant and want
and
make believe
what
does it
matter
if you die
when livin
is suicide
murder
the murderous
the innocent
it doesn't matter
which way
one's bent
Dem throw stones
then
hide dem hands
Dem bleach
I bones
and
call I
Badman
in this fraternity of violence
The Table’ s Turning
He who had the gun
loved the hunt
ain't no fun
n o w
the hunted
has bombs
How
can one
respect a man
who won't fight back
You kill my dog . . ! ?
you better run
hide your cat
One can't Wait
on second
to come in first
Nor stand
in the rain
and
die of thirst
When the rich
robs the poor
dem say
is
economics
But ~
When the poor
fights back
dem call it
B a d m a n B u s i n e s s
When the forgotten
choose
to speak
dem say
sedition
When the masses
don't have
enough to eat
dem say
l e t d e m e a t c a k e
one man's terrorist
is
another's
freedom fighter
But~
blood matters not
when
blood is hot
the dagger's real
the sword is steel
a mighty sword
is
just a sword
but
a mighty word
is
an idea forged
Generations
b o r n
with
clenched fists
and
battle armour
looking
for
a fight
wanting . .
to die
' cause living
is dread
S t i l l ~
the pious wields
words believed
cloistered
spoken by
T h e D i s c i p l e s o f B u l l s h i t
half truths
and
whole lies
You can't
even believe
da s h i t
you believe . .
some truths
are as valid
as
reading
chicken bones . !
l y i n g
is easy
when
no one
knows
the truth
Vengeance
confusedcontused
composed
transposed
metamorphosed
into
righteous will
and
just atrocities
Orgies of Discontent
men of god
intent on being
P r o p h e t s o f E v i l
pious crusades
wrench the necks
of those
who
would not
bend
b e w a r e
the wrongdoers
they maybe angels
in sheep clothing
beware the naysayers
singing hymns
b e w a r e
the change merchants
plying their trade
in their cathedrals of sin
b e w a r e
the sheep-shaggers
wanting to come in
Sometimes . . .
nothing
is
better
than
anything
a s n a k e i s a s n a k e
even if
it thinks
it can fly
some larks
think
they're
e a g l e s
l i k e a d i a m o n d r a w
not yet exposed
Every revolution ~
needs a martyr
every war
a hero
every religion
needs a sinner
and
every evil
needs a saint
~ t h e d r o n e s a r e c o m i n g ~
the drones are coming . .
the innocent cry . !
mothers lay
on the bodies
of dead infants
to protect their souls
they hide ~
under tin rooves
and
mud huts
whole villages burn . . !
Who's not dead
badly wounded
not friend nor foe
enemy nor kin
the enemy fought
is within
we need to
Wake Up
or
we experience
the nightmares
of
continuous sleep
