Instant Citizen Execution

Instant Citizen Execution

They granted the authority to themselves

Backed by the belligerence of insanity

Initiated by some rogue gene that compels

A foolish man to set his stock in vanity

Citizens now walk the streets in fear

Of masked men that are emerging from history

Their mission smells of hate its purpose unclear

The leader floundering in instruction contradictory

A right to protest is now seemingly denied

Confronted by armed gangs with pepper spray

Protection of the innocent is publicly decried

Whilst memories of the swastika emerge today

Your race colour and your creed openly abused

The white man’s bible now carries a new story

Where violence towards fellow citizens is excused

All because a false deity is seeking glory

You’d better get down on your knees and pray

That the man holding the barrel to your head

Might find a moment of mercy and Satan betray

Revoking the leader’s hatred and removing dread

For when fellow citizens are seen as the prey

Predators rewarded by those elected to care

Then the devil’s work is displayed in full play

So join the march Don’t just stand and stare
