stuffed with the propaganda of ignorance
passed between generations like a starving gene
nourished and fed by a society too blinded
by its own greed for dominance to notice theirs
they mark themselves with symbolic pride
wear their beliefs upon their pale skin like screams
bemoaning the wrongs inflicted upon them as if
the world owes them a debt and god damn it they will collect
through havoc and disaster until they have washed
in oceans of violence and been baptized by blood
and still it is not enough to vindicate them
it is only a ripple when they long for a wave
a thunderstorm when they want hurricanes
it will never be enough to quell their hateful lust
they are poison that has been injected into society
consumed by fire and spread like an epidemic in its veins
while the rest of the world sleeps with open eyes and
blank stares before the televisions and radios and newspapers
deluded by the belief that it will never touch them if they
avoid the demon eyes and allow the pillage of its share of souls
trying to ignore that cold breath against their own necks
when the sun is clogged with the darkness of a world gone mad
because this fucking war should be about power not fear
they should be held as saints and martyrs for their roles
this is what they tell themselves and those who might listen do nothing
but play deaf and mute while the body count rises in the streets and
blood pools and spreads to forge a path for that next generation
of zealots and fools who follow without taking the time
to ever ask why as they place their feet upon the bloody path
of a map that leads to inevitable destruction and desolation
refusing to learn from the past as these cretins usher themselves into
extinction by fighting a war they swear they never started while
ignoring the blatant fact that when day and night are one with the
stench of smoke and burning flesh they will open their eyes
to find that their fates have always been the same
