And the World Turns

Send them home To begin Again Bring them back After the end of ends Knock off turbans and Ransack the shacks of the ghettos of New York Putting things back together In a mosaic attempt to fix History and erase her’s Women and Men Brown and White Black and Red Yellow Yellow Mellow war fever Intertwined within the masses Let’s all hold hands And blindly lead each other To the end A day of reckoning Explosive Cutting through corn stalks and Sprinkling homicide through prairies Slashing the censored cacti Tearing off the arms of the rising Injustice supporters Smearing blood across The Painted Desert We can’t move fast enough To make bombs and slice children Until their tears mix with their blood To make clay we eat out of Let’s disengage And hit the club Forget this mess Babay Babay Democratic Republicans Poetic Politicians Dictator loving Socialists Ease their way into tea parties Mad Hatter racing The Walrus and the Carpenter Frantic on opium and dynamite Versus me, versus you Me hit you, you hit me Weaving a basket out of biological warfare And psychological child’s play To catch our hopes before they hit the ceiling and burst Into Reality
