Jihad by Proxy

rhetoric rules political sewage

politics rule rhetorical spewage

reckless fools 

war's tools

dismantled schools

poisoned pools

left to ferment

 youth's discontent

Psycho student gamers from cyberspace

Now appearing in their place

The zombie puppet bombs from beyond

Descend like locusts from our skies

Asphyxiated spirits with hollow eyes

that accept any desperate orb

no matter how maligned or askew

drained being any ghoul may absorb 

Becoming them, us, me and you

Sprouting their Jihad rain

New definition of insane

Sudden hammer blows

 The orbit slows 

Wallets growing lighter

Thieves fists clenched tighter

Life savings, pensions . . . Poof!

Our mortgages, our very roof.

As Wall Street wheeled and dealed

Bank vaults now locked and sealed

Should've invested in oil and war

and let that be a lesson 

Record profits and growing more

 "accomplished mission!" 

Lifting heavy lids open

Orwellian nightmare come true

Quickly closes them again

And soon they'll come for you 

It's coming

Times are changin

Elements are rearrangin

Who will be left to say

We were judged 

And that was Judgement Day?

Face down with Truth

Tripping over reality

Gutters of freedom

Washing us to the sea
