Blues, Cues and Shoe Stews

Refuse to hang the innocent While your gang acquits the guilty In a tooth for a tooth pronouncement You state in collusion with the mighty. Accuse with the ruse in your news dissidents Whipped into submission To the coercion of incidents Incorporated into a dictatorial diction. Cruise out of control With your weapons of avid annihilation Primed to wiped out any pesky patrol That surveys the sadness and sickness in your jubilation. Freeze the breeze trees in infancy Stunted when you hunt down their xylem In a show of tethered truancy Boosted by a nihilist anthem. Use distorted dialogues Conducted at cross purposes In muted prologues and monologues With enfeebled and emaciated faces bereft of choices. Save knaves and staves Slaves struggle to free from the tyranny Perpetrated in war veteran graves To whom you dished out a cashless cacophony. Wave flaccid flags flown at half mast As conflict casualties mount When baskets of mourning cast A dark pall on leadership lists of skills to discount. Despair not. Repair the flare No longer impotent, no longer content As venom fangs bare Death diadems an bother bandanas for the discontent.
