News of the Killings
A war rages on, on two fronts, three or more. The world is a wave crashing upon swords, or so I am told. Yet the tea in my teacup does not tremble to the thud and scream of shells, my easy chair is not stained with the flesh of the slain. In the garden songbirds do not shake with fear. Headlines bellow. People are marching to God knows where, a...

The True Devil
Eyes of a trader With words of wisdom You make destruction look so good You don't use force But the beauty and cursive of your words is tantalizing You can make dreams come true But what they don't realize is your true intentions are very much cruel Your like a rock that has been painted gold You look pretty and real...

Weeping Gun
My palms are growing wet Sweat has covered my trigger Night and day in enemies nest Operating like battalions of mere singers. I fight 21st century with 20th century bullets Blood on my face, wounds yielding deeper In shattered body my brethren in uniform rest Unjust funding makes our defence wall weaker. Father, I am in a wilderness fighting a shapeless war No back...
