Facade of Respectibility

Behind the mask of high moral standards
Murder and destruction is the total being
The cause of peace must be defended
Make war to promote democracy

Hatred is learned behavior
Taught by actions of power hungry marauders
Dressed as saints

As lone as the church says it’s okay
Decayed carcasses must lay exposed
A message to those who disobey

What the World Needs Now

A cure for war
This incurable birth defect
Infectious disease making house calls

The war mentality
Causality of casualties
The replicas of sons and daughters

A house, no longer a home
The ultimate tomb awaiting
Unrelenting lack of remorse
Endorsing and enforcing

War’s religious reign
War’s religious reign
Raining mass murder fertilizing
The death of humanity

What the world needs now
A cure for war

Ultimate Sacrifice

A woman giving birth
Replenishes Mother Earth
Mother Nature’s humanity and myriad mirth
Destruction of Life by bombs and war
The universe will always abhor

Annihilation, war’s consummate whore
The stars cry innocent blood galore
Bodies of blood from shore to shore
The death of Life by bombs and war

A woman birthing Life
The Ultimate Sacrifice
Nothin man-made can suffice
The female impetus-the incomprehensible birth-rite

The Ultimate Sacrifice
A Woman giving Life

God's Gunna Work it Out

As the bombs shattered people’s entrails
The screams of horror did not assail
Organized violence against humanity

Blood ran thru streets like frightened children
But the children are smeared all over
Freedom is not as free as War-Spilled Blood

But have no fear
God’s gunna work it out here

Women and children being brutally raped
By aids infested soldiers
Decapitation elation
War-cry copulation
Victorious assassination

But have no fear
God’s gunna work it out here

Sorry, for your loss

The name tag, now has a toe tag
Tailor made suit, a body bag

Sorry, for your loss
Sons and daughters nailed to the cross

Warrior’s creed, must sadisticly bleed
Centuries of blood-letting
Collateral damage begetting and begetting

Sorry, for you loss
Sons and daughters nailed to the cross

Foreign lands possess body parts
Dirt and soil now soldiers hearts
The innocent scream never departs
War’s handiwork displays its arts

The glory of war constantly embarks
Carrying innocent lives in war’s arks

Slave Ain't Nothin but A Slave

Graduated from college got yo degree
Thought sheep-skin would set you free
Make a lot of money, pillar in society
Corporate success, wall street notariety

Feeling good about material gain
Bureaucratic attitude, seared in yo brain
Yo only thoughts are about yo jobs
Business just business makes yo heart throb

Years of success, you did yo best
Made sacrifices, past every test
Maintained yo status stayed elite
Being superficial was yo retreat

Total allegiance to being a machine
Thoughts you had fulfilled yo dream
Got no soul, no self-esteem

Highly educated but still a neophyte knave

The Bill, For The Bill of Rights

The political-democracy picking the aristocracy
Like the slaves picked cotton
We the people are totally forgotten
We the people are totally forgotten

Poor people pay the ultimate price
Coersive persuasion –a mind control device
Willingly give your life as a sacrifice
Then die for a cause that violates human rights laws

Economic sanctions aimed at the poor
Carpet bombing civilians desecrates laws of war
When government becomes God, for economic gains
The Bill of Rights wanes, wanes, wanes

Zero tolerance for violence is galore, in the times of war
The whole world saturated with the Blood of The Poor
The cost of freedom, war’s consummate whore
Business interests favor war, as it’s savior

The Fear Sanction

If you don’t get saved and become a slave
You’ll burn in hell the preacher did tell

You’re rotten, unrighteous and born vile
You belong to the devil, deceived by his vile
Your fate has been decided, no denial
Tried and convicted without a trial

Go to school but don’t make the grade
Can’t get in college, no financial aid
Can’t get the skills and have no trade
Future looks bleak even fear is afraid

Society doesn’t want you
You don’t have the money they are due
You don’t possess what they require
You’re a mistake and object of friendly fire

Ya spend yo whole life living in dread and fear
Controlled and manipulated by the austere

Weapons of Mass Destruction

The Holy Roman Empire and Alexander The Great
Exterminate the globe, with extreme prejudice,
A Weapon of Mass Destruction

The European Inquisition, A Weapon of Mass Destruction
The Holy Christian Crusades, A Weapon of Mass Destruction
The Manifest Destiny and land expansion, A Weapon of Mass Destruction

Globalization and commercialization of the many rain forests,
A Weapon of Mass Destruction
Comprehensive sanctions is economic violence,
A Weapon of Mass Destruction

The procreation of religion and God, A Weapon of Mass Destruction
Democratizing the whole world, A Weapon of Mass Destruction
The extermination of The Iroquois Confederation, A Weapon of Mass Destruction
World domination the salvation of, A Weapon of Mass Destruction

War, is the greatest Weapon of Mass Destruction
The justification for annihilation of, The Constitution

Book-Smart VS Mother-Wit

We think and cogitate like our trainers
They keep our spirits in institutionalized containers
Mentality cloning must constantly work us
Like trained animals in a circus

Personality and character does not come in a book
Building blocks became stumbling blocks
Your mind became a nook

Instead of being nosy, now it’s inquisitive
Dying in the name of science, a façade to live
Because you can write it off is why you give
Everything you possess and want is captive in a sieve

Inspite of all the knowledge you can hire
Low self-esteem is still the fire
Holding you steadfast in the muck and mire
Book-smart can’t provide the help you desire

The spirit of life has left your being
