Collective Punishment

Our enemies the Philistines As we were taught in Sunday school Are extras in the battle lines To die, as we were born to rule What lovely racists we’ve become Programmed to hate our nation’s foes Eurasians and Mohammedans Can meet the fate our masters chose The monstrous industry of war Directs the western heads of state To where the high explosives roar To maim, bereave, decapitate The talking heads can flap their jowls And fill the hours on CNN Exhort us all with dead-face scowls On our crusade to Bethlehem Strausse’s secret spreads in whispers Humans never can be equal No ceasefires but Zuklon crystals Let our engines be our sequel We are the essential nation Pure supremacy’s our totem Sweet self-righteous affectation Foreheads like a camel’s scrotum White is right and might and height In Europe’s garden of the gods At Ragnarok we seize our right To harvest souls and cocoa pods Aircraft carriers parading Empire power to all our foes Who as humans masquerading Are consumed in Gaza’s woes Queen Victoria’s amusement Black Mass Joe the Totenkopf Spin a mythical illusion Of the ruled and rulers of From their minuscule mind-bubble Black and whitest certainty Suck and crush us into Anglo Saxon singularity The man’s too big, the man’s too strong Till time sweeps all his works away And light exposes right as wrong And all his monuments decay The peoples dance, the peoples sing Unbroken continuity Of common joy and suffering The language of eternity
