The Devil's Sword

Politicians are the devil's foot soldiers and the media hones their swords. They crush the walls of our faith to them our tomorrow is just another baby conceived in the rage of rape. They play us like broken piano wires and we dance for them straight into the purring fire. There's much good being done out there but you'll never hear it from the press. Politicians yearn to guzzle power they've always put their knees on our necks. We've invited their poison into our veins our discomfort has always been for their gain. Wake up folks they're playing ball and jacks in our heads and shell games with our peace and happiness. Politicians are the devil's foot soldiers and the media hones their swords.
