Only clowns had masks
And secret agents
Personae non grata
Disallowed from disguise
Now the Stasi and Gestapo
Of all nations denunciate
Those renegade souls
Who hide their screen
Blindfolded we justify
Judge and reprimand
Cushion our conscience
In self-righteousness
28th April 2020
They went in the lap of dreams
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
Cries are so loud; mourn itself is grieving
Mothers are quiet; longing and holding their bellies
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
Humanity is dead; humans are dead
Flowers are dull; colors are fading
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
Stop this war; we demand peace
You think its for the sake of religion?
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
Denunciate yourself; ask where you stand
You! yourself is a victim ferociousness
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
And they went.. Innocence is brutality slayed
Blood! Blood! everywhere..
And repression funded mental
assassination
I shall climb beyond the human
heights
When consistency aided
conspiracy
When mental discipline
Has become mental plaque
That contaminates the
constraints
Of the pure at heart
And purity poison to
contaminate
I shall rise up high
For if the worst doesn’t come
to the best
The sun shall rise in the west
Contaminated brains are
deliberating
To the concoctions of mental
assassination
For the truth shall denunciate
To become the extreme
subversive
When creativity is poisoned to
contaminate
And the capacity of common
sense
Is replaced by contaminated
plaques
That throbs and throts
My inner soul
And being pure is as good as
being contaminated
I shall remain with the
knowledge
Of good and evil
For I’m no good at all
To be pure at heart
But contaminated with pure
evil...
