The Age of Terror

(“Utopia and Terror Merit Badge”, 2010, original oil) The Age of Terror It’s a new reign of terror With demon hit squads roaming the earth To lurk on roof tops, hedges And parking lots for their attack While cowardly anonymous callers SWAT The unsuspecting next in line. All the time the voice boxes With their silent protest paddles And bullhorns call for mayhem and murder, Blood in the streets And resistance in the name of democracy, All for their deranged minions to do. As they do nothing but double down On their insider trading Planning on the day When they’ll be back in the seat of power Back driving the economy off the cliff And their adversaries into gulags. This is the age of terror Where nowhere or one is safe, Where the Death Cult's agenda of greater good Includes the sacrifice of you and me By the billions In the name of order, security, peace and freedom. This is where we are today. Are you terrified yet? Or are you laughing at their desperation, As the morning tide continues to rise, lifting all boats Destroying all Their castles made of sand.
