Mocking Executions

Go on 
tell them

tell them how
your democratic masturbation
searching for solutions
has failed in calculation again

now people with eyes made of glass
are bringing war to us

war has no heroes, only victims
and people who forgot they are

formula is clear
we invaded their way of life
now they are attacking ours

an eye for an eye
until we all became blind
lightless

go on
run
shout your lungs out

when you use weapons
to maintain peace
bloodbath is inevitable
or this is what your real intent was,
is

to baptise us anew
launder in our own blood

on which book 
are you evaluating valuable ones now
while you're designing 
a brand new world
holding blameless victims
as hostages of your fundament

none soil
in blood built
remain peaceful sleep

are you sleeping well
knowing you set
Abraham's children confrontation
as two David's fight
while Goliath is watching from the audience

are you sleeping well being aware
you left no one 
to keep that thumb up
when we all appear
lightless
