A poem on politics
How can I resist
'tis what I most detest
Although I must confess
I cannot understand
The workings of a man
Who through the pen in his hand
Does naught
But destroy anothers land
Soldiers in line
Operate through the mine
Blow another up from the inside
And we applaud
What humankind should abhor
But we pretend to adore
As we wait
To shake the hand
Of he who is in power
So we can be seen
Dress up and preen
Thinking we will be protected
Not ejected
When in this race
We are obliterated to space
And the only trace of the human race
Will be the disgrace
Of stench and decay
Body parts, pieces of brain
Washed down a drain
Voting day comes such a fuss
Who do you trust?
Let me tell you thus
Why should I keep it hush hush?
You mark the papers
You then become the rapist
The killer
The thief
The stealer of lands
Gods free earth
You think you're so smart
Go buy yourself a machine gun
A bomb
A mask
Blow your own child apart
