Kit Kelen #1059 - how to make terror


1059
how to make terror

first deprive
condemn
consign

pretend against injustice
coffin them all of them up
in a name
settle them in the dust

take land and it becomes a song
take life and fire the blood

dismiss all pleas
they cannot reason
you think it's a bomb's throw away

pretend they're us
but not quite
not as good

take dignity
call names

take life and fire the blood
take land and they will sing it

will wear the bombs these days

will they need lunch then?
wear a suit?
give fond, polite regards?

best of all
deprive of sense

divide
they kill each other

pretend things are so simple
twist religion round them
who isn't tangled there?

must televise their demise
how many years we're at it now
so all the world may know

let history note fate was theirs
of course their truth is not

deprive of hope
keep ignorant
let rot
that will get respect gone

we are the future after all

prevent a conversation
you couldn't speak with them
with that kind

you see how it is
you see how we've tried
we need to be rid

you see why we'd
why you'd
why anyone would
want to wipe
every last one
from the face of the earth
wipe out the family
wipe out the tribe
wipe out every last
terrorist
wipe out
all they believe
wipe
every last hope

towel tops rub the wishful lamp
and this is their good oil

throw more dollars at the thing

drop one on them
gone in a puff

blessed was somebody once when
but this is a recipe for terror

sly smile like a dog's
can't know what it means
can't trust those words
a skin like that

where are you really from?

the tell tale
there's always one survives
no genoocide's complete without
this paradox

it's as if from heaven
this this one whistling missile
sticks in your head though
all of yours gone

and it comes to you as duty
this knowing
if only even symbolically

you're the last one alive

peace upon you
my brother
my sister

peace upon us all
