all that they kill
colonialism
those jeweled crowns
imperialism
cruel seats of power
fascism
refracting lower truth
they that rule
negativism
paranoia's fuel
dictating overlords
industrialism
fierce tools
polluting nature's chasms
those castle towers
hording chastened slaves
stealth's very stature
troves of pirated treasure
those gleaming glass towers
venerated totems
our blessed things
stolen feathers and bent boxes
sacred neolithic artifacts
neatly spirited away
so many indentured lives
fracturing broken cultures
what tactful good
that fox in the chicken house
those bloody vultures
picking at carnal bones
grizzly skeletons of nations
insistent rich
where is compassionate patience
born privileged
severing greed from need
lush into lustful wealth
self induction
glitter sparkling in that world
or is it bitter poison
don't say any good thing
administering destruction
why can't they
caring instruction
shall they
ever repent
why should they
redeem themselves
must they
greedily steal
even continue
their constant ploy
loot and destroy
all their forced confusion
diminish the sacred world
delusion following cupidity
encouraging apartheid
this segregated planet is discouraged
grieving heartlessness
we have to wonder
no one can really hide
does everyone even have a soul
or are they demons in disguise
creatures merely here
queerly skulking throughout
nasty trolls
stealing everything
cloaked by shadows
the shoals of noxious bidding
milking money out of war
those oppressive drones
cronies forever
abhorrent cheating
draining innocent people
vampires sucking blood
so many slaves and pawns
this established scheme of things
is there a just God
those evil doers
should not forget
beware a fierce and vengeful dog
nature won't discount
sordid confessions
defining heartless concessions
succession in the end
avaricious people
in time they discover
stolen wealth
misguided ways
since they can't
justifiably exist
since they fail to see
don't hear God
some are not wise
vengeance will bury them
yet there is intelligence
beneath foolish billions
smothered by nothingness
worthlessness and uselessness
bringing no good to the world
selfish hateful lies
cruel arrogance
so the bloody future
lay in ruddy firearms
historic gunpowder
creating more empire
violence being the crowd pleaser
those pocket dags
sparking corrupt change
revolution is made easier
just like those salt peter men
digging up the floor you stand on
all it takes
is a flash in the pan
that gets the ball rolling
utter ruthlessness
a devastating calling
so civilization
from sand dunes to temples
grassland to cities
forests to skyscrapers
jungles into money
isn't it a pity
pathetic isn't cooler
saviours that are phonies
corrupt rich and despotic rulers
nothing but demon cronies
