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

That’s not genocide

That’s not genocide

Of course they are killing people by the thousands

Tanks and bombs and missiles from the sky

Hospitals are working day and night to save lives

So more bombs were needed to wipe the hospitals out

This meant so many more had to be left to die

Still they resisted so new approaches were needed

Why not deny them food except for the crumbs

Slow starvation so that they would eventually die

Whilst pretending that the offered crumbs were aid

Malnutrition of infants had its use for the oppressor

Pregnant mothers would they hoped soon abort

Why not kill the doctors so even fewer survive

Maybe journalists as well to ensure no truth leaks out

In an era where freedom of speech risks repercussion

Should anyone remain they must be driven from the land

But first label them as terrorists and not refugees

Even the toddlers who are not as high as knees

A land which after all is nothing but prime real estate

Why not deny they are a nation or even a state

Then nobody will give a damn about their fate

If they are terrorised sufficiently they will try to leave

In the hope that other nations will receive

Apparently none of this counts as genocide

To the leaders who choose to close their eyes

To those whose aim is to murder and destroy

Yet each act is genocide in law

How did we sink to such depravity

Why are we failing to question a mentality

That accepts leadership with such insanity

Can you look your own children in the face

To tell them such deeds are normal and fine

That all this is part of a greater western design

Where evil is intended to triumph in time

The Domestic Terrorist

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
