Respect Existance / Expect Resistance

The barrel burns
The huddled worthless
Magnetized to the smoke
-
Unfurled worms
Reach the surface
Breathe in and choke
-
With each their turn
Losing in purpose
With no ability to cope
---
I analyzed your eyes
And i read the fire
-
I pried into your mind
And found the remnants of desire
--
I cauterized
The open wound before it fester
-
The molotov shines
A lantern for the protesters
--
Respect existance
Expect resistance
-
The future's distant
The past's relentless
---
The endless stars
The art of death
Testiment to resilience
-
Machine gun heart
In holy breast
Unbowed and born repentless
-
Unbound by far
So near to rest
Awakened by the pretentious
---
I hold it down
And keep it pinned
-
And then i drown
Within
--
Anti-lost profound
To find the treasure in the wreck
-
Deafened by the sound
Silencing time unspent
--
In case you missed it
Or forgot to listen
-
Respect existance
Or expect resistance
