Fear Brings Fame

I hope I become famous,
Like MLK,
Down by a bullet,
With still more to say.

I hope I'm remembered,
Like Saddam Hussein,
Loved is great,
But fear brings fame.

I hope I'm forgotten,
Like Mao Zedong,
After being forgotten,
Shits still all wrong.

I hope my chapter,
Is a lesson in terror,
Because good is remembered,
But fear lasts forever.

War Of The Mind

Some wars are fought with guns,
Some wars are fought with tanks,
But the most destructive war of all,
Takes place right where you think,

This war is fought by everyone,
Over any little need,
Sometimes this war can drive a man,
To to takes all things he feeds,

This war is everlasting,
Until the day you die,
If you want to find this war,
Look no further than your mind.
