The WAR(ld)

the world takes a shift

with the slam of a fist

a scowl graces the faces of those in power

a pissing contest ensues

and the world is held prisoner

a challenge set forth

to stay to the course

see to the end

to fight

and defend

with no rhyme or reason

we’re thrown in the deep end

drown

swim

or sink

but don’t over think

with your blinders intact

they force feed you the facts

believe all the lies

of why we must fight

pay no attention to

the strings that control you

puppet master pulls rank

and you fall into place

the power won’t yield

and certainly won’t kneel

to the anger

and threats

of a tyrants demands

level heads will prevail

the war chant grows stale

the mouth moves in time

to the overdubbed lies

blood falls to the ground

as egos stand proud

a smirk of approval

of mass human removal

with the slam of a fist the whole world take a twist

the face of the lie smiles all the while

as alpha males square off

innocence dies at the hands of arrogance
