The Water Sticks
Peel away your skin,
You'll find your veins run deep,
Rivers of blood claiming common kin,
With the incompetent shepherd and the slaughtering of the sheep,
Bones so easily broken,
Did you think it was a coincidence,
That your marrow is only a morbid token,
Of sadistic acts of terror and violent incidents,
Unfasten your appendages,
You'll then understand why mankind can't fly,
A self inflicted anchor composed of dyed melanin and ambidextrous cartilage,
Mutilating the earth and sacrificing the sky,
We are agents of destruction,
Disciples of greed,
Ushering in ages of suicidal carnage and devastation,
With technology as our steed,
Do our Mother Earth her most sacred service,
As per our duty as war's sons and daughters,
The time for reconciliation has long past for the Earth has already suffered our existence,
So slit your throats and worry not over our final injustice,
There's already blood in the water.
