Blind, sole truth built on lies
Dread, bêtes noires surrounding
Retreat, cower within comfort
Deplete, weltenschauung diminished
Vision narrows, fear overwhelms
Revulsion, amygdala inflamed
Impulse to destroy those misunderstood
Trepidation begets hate begets bigotry
Umwelt of cowards
A vapid slurry excretes through pores
Facile minds of proud boys
Bravely ensconced behind flimsy walls
Armaments of glowing screens
Disempowered children
Myopia of chauvinist conceit
Anachronistic creed
Of achromatic pride

Death Knell

Quaking, the din
Of thunderous severance
Sundered islands of frost
Adrift in the expanse
Once rich in vivacious life
Now wastes of ashen bone
The aqueous mixture warms
Thermodynamic flows engulf
Delicate structures
Paragon symbiosis
Dispelled by death's caress
Ubiquitous pelagic ecology
Diminished to noxious blooms
Our legacy, our disgrace!
White skeletal monuments
Reminders to those who have seen
The silent knell of unbounded demise
A spiraling cycle of unbridled decay
Penultimate collapse
Our gift to posterity
Deserts expand, consume
Once fertile lands
Diminished to barren dunes
Our legacy, our disgrace
White skeletal monuments
Reminders to those who have lived
The howling knell of unbounded demise
A spiraling cycle of exiccated earth
Penultimate collapse
Our legacy, our disgrace!

Pipeline

Born with no choice
But to serve a solitary life
Raised through poverty
Prepared for hell
The chosen multitudes
Bound for prison cells
Valued commodities
In black human bodies
Striped indefinitely
Enslaved for industry
Impermeable pipeline
Class war wages
Black lives pay in full
Compulsory admission
Stripped of dignity
A solitary life
Condemned by racist policy
Endless “War on Drugs”
In razed communities
Bled dry of humanity
Pipelines burst
Precincts can burn
Prisons also crumble
Beneath the rising tide
No more time for words
Slogans will never suffice
With blood in the streets
We all must fight

Ashes fall like fresh snow
Upon a barren earth
Deathlike shadows
Black skeletal trees
As the roar fades
Like memories of a people forgotten
Tread marks retreat
Across tombs of concrete and steel
The monuments of hate
The city burns
The land of ten thousand dead
Expunged from history
A nightmare too surreal
Better to forget then bare guilt
Crumbling edifices
A blight removed by shellfire
Tombs for unwanted vermin
A cleansing of history
Rewritten to satisfy
False narratives of nationalist pride
Silence falls once more
As endless night settles
And firelight subsides
The city sleeps beneath ashen snow
Hatred's grave embrace
Upon the land of fourteen thousand dead
Amongst deathlike shadows
Crushed beneath steel treads
The roar of shellfire fades
Only tombs of concrete and rebar remain
The city burns
The land of fourteen thousand dead
Expunged from history
A nightmare too surreal
Better to forget then bare guilt
Silence falls once more
As endless night settles
An firelight subsides
The city sleeps beneath ashen snow
Hatred's grave embrace
Upon the land of fourteen thousand dead
Amongst deathlike shadows
Crushed beneath steel treads
The roar of shellfire fades
Only tombs of concrete and rebar remain
