History Is Rotten |
| As evidence of times before |
| In chapters long forgotten |
| The reotting tombs of history are written by the victors |
| Empty words are staring back as paragraphs of power leave |
| No traces of the toiler’s fate (just one massacre to many-and none too late) |
| All glory comes from death |
| Desensitized in unreal fiction forms |
| Our leaders never die- it’s the working poor that fight their wars |
| It is written? |
| It is rotten- their truth is dead and rotting |
| With decades passing and nothing changing |
| The hourglass grows empty again |
| Tunnel visions and career clowns |
| Send ivory towers crumbling down |
| The pulse is fading |
| The axe is falling |
| Another tragedy unfolds |
| The moral standard |
| The status quote |
| The carcasses of millions left in their wake |
| The paper bound in books that glorify the acts of murderers will burn just |
| Like all empires that have come before |
| 500 years dead… cold and efficient they carry out their plan-indoctrinate |
| The youth to the textbook wasteland |
| As patriots empowered |
| They coronate themselves |
| Breed us on their lies |
| And they feed us to the wolves |
