Just Say No
NO, you will not have my child.
I will not be convinced by the rampant
hunger of government, the devourer of souls,
needing cannon fodder.
NO, I will not stand a zombie in a trance
an unrepentant ghoul entranced,
watching as you turn innocents
to join with the minions of destruction.
I will not plan to kill.
I will not live to hate.
NO, you will not have my child.
Death may come, as Death will,
but I will not be conned by the powers that be.
Death will not find me, or mine, willing victims
of this plague of violence.
The energy of me and mine will plan
to live and die in the light.
