When Need Be

When need be
violence must be scripted without diction
the whole agly truth must make the pugent
In our world, need I say third
peaceful matching is an obscure tale, abominable by all jurisprudence
Headlines score cards for gallows humor, wrecking havoc makes for the highest bidder

World peace would only hold, when we're all a piece
when court rooms are too fair to be courted by hideous grooms
and the jury rejects quotations from below the helms

The things we do for justice sake, we willing to die for, fight foes, just to close case
You bet only a fly knows the pain of dying young, but it takes a week or two to give the niche a new look

The platoons, drawn by hefty promises to their payslips, our encounters at Tom Mboya are nominated for overtime
Sling shots might come in handy, don't take your chest to a gun fight
the loot is the down payment, break the tablets, pin it on Moses
No stones are to be left unturned, graphics are touch stone inspired

Better still,
thirsting to score touch down before dawn
steal the rail line at the Kibera sector
Only then
Will they take care of you and I
