The Domestic Terrorist
The hidden face beneath the hood emits a scowl
The only purpose in his life is now to terrorise
Hiding in crevices are those that tremble with fear
The innocents that his leader chose to stigmatize
Yesterday she had played with her friends at school
Now she’s crouching in a cupboard beneath the stair
Listening to the jackboots stomping through the rooms
And the screams of her mother yanked out by her hair
Behind the mask one felon follows orders given by another
Executing a script that was penned with poisoned hate
His life no longer has a meaning the only purpose to obey
As if his racial Christianity is by his birth innate
He is the excrement of a warped and twisted mind
The malformed dwarf subservient to a master’s greed
Brain dead following his instructions like a robot
Living with the false myth to plant the white man’s seed
She could hear her elder sister’s cries for help
As the masked terrorist beat her and tore at her clothes
Raped by a monster that had no concept of humanity
A gruesome figure that worships a devil in king’s robes
The child cowering is found as the door is kicked in
Terrified and traumatised she lets out a scream
As the terrorist flings her into the unmarked truck
Convinced he is now living out the American Dream
