Have you received your death threat today?
If not, it must be what you were writing was of little import
To the money-masters and their madmen
Or to the madmen and their money-masters
With their henchmen, and governments and minions
Circling dutifully, planning their own vulture like rise on the carrion watch.
Or plotting an existence bottom feeding on the sediments of want
And desire, scratching scabs into more yet monumental itch….
All the salve in the world will not save them from the deadly scratch
How long must we reason to madmen?
Till the words spittle down the pontificating chins?
And intermittent jaw cramps lock, then clamp shut on the dual idiot syllabic winds?
Of this dialogue of fools?
Of a madman and the fool that’s talking to him…
Me and you.
Or you and me?
….Then the endless verse begins even worse
One more time again?
I fought wars for decades
The longer I fought the less I won
Escaping with life and most of limb
Still you can never get back the time
Here’s the worst part you might not have known
You always owe your foe and
All time in hell is twice lost
Both to you and him
(Leave the devil to mind his own)
War, especially the modern kind is like a drug
So sweet, so fine, at the start.
There’s no thought or care to all that was good in a former time
Of peace, then time passes and all that’s left is a need
A yearning for even enough peace not to yearn so for the suicidal deed
The only urge still alive after the spirits death
No hope of victory
And you’ve forgotten how to let go
And now whatever your ethnicity
You’re Palestinian, you’re Israeli
You share a land
With one another’s hands
Locked about the others throat
….No one daring to let go.
Here’s a list:
Wars that can’t be won….
(Not that some shouldn’t be)
The war on alcohol( Prohibition should have made us immune
But the forgetful stupidity virus mutates fast. How convenient to the drug warriors!
And history is no longer taught in school
Besides. It’s totally uncool
We’re into what’s happening now!
Check out my new app!
Imperialist wars (count three:Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Then Iran (on the burner going from cold to hot)
All Wars of Empire. All Empires in time rot
I almost forgot
The War against Islam!
We’ll show them raghead Hajis what not!
Even WWII!! Nazi Ideology is alive and well today. There’s always new sub-humans to designate for extermination. They don’t have to be Jews.
They could be us! One and all…
The war on the heart, soul and mind of mankind
The war on the human spirit
But temporary success for the enemy can last sometimes for hundreds of years
So don’t worry too much about death threats. Liars don’t receive them. It means that your doing good. And eternal life has never been achieved on the physical plane…
And time loses in time the memory of physical pain.
So we forget
It’s the blessing
It’s the bane
And in time madmen lose all their gold
And what’s little left of their minds
Epilogue
Chinless mutants morph human-like in incestuous wombs
Madlings await their flesh and wealth
Money awaits its crime
