Boarder Land

Hidden beneath the underground secrets in the corridors of concealed the clandestine cloisters where muggers share deadly tales told in whispers Darkness cloying soaked with disdain the minions diatribe upon popular media assertion spells how the empire demonstrably remains and the boarder lands have shrunken Slow to gain the robotic nation each injection the merest of pin pricks every death to mark the procession to the steady state of the population maturates and sickens Who knows now where to place their foot where beginning ends, where the line is drawn where conscience can govern where truth stands a principle, it’s redemption for us all Who knows now what or who defends the garden porch of the worlds boarder lands and the fear of all provably remains who knows who the enemy is And hidden beneath the culpable secrets deep in the vaults and tunnels of blackness a criminal computer whispers telling tales of villains and their collateral excess Pay no heed it is but a rumor a stories telling by black blooded thieves a nothing of nothings whirlpool of stupor a covetous distraction in need lives Who knows now where they stand who feels now the unseen hand the pecking of the invisible vulture all crammed together in the boarder land Who knows who the enemy is as fear and death cut their genocide straits huddled in the safety of TV lights gnawing on the boarder land between left and right
