Arms of Fire
triggers of collusion
mounted
and loaded
into
empty apologies
carefully worded
so as not to
cause disruption
in
cash flow
lives
obliterated
decimated
and families crushed
beneath the blow
of
out-laws…
steel barriers to
justice
and any care
for
humanity
what can your money
buy you?
when
your bullets
have
crushed a nation
and a gun
can be gotten
as easily
as
a
lollipop
it is on you…
it is
in
your hands
filled
with the blood
of deceit
and greed
and
silence
and the
cold truth
of a country
who
is
buying
and selling…
it’s soul
