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
