singing independence day

John Sweet

soldier w/ his feet cut off
for the boots they wear

w/ his hands cut off for the sheer
rush of power that destruction brings
and you will watch him burn and
you will listen to the dogs
growl deep in their throats

we are all of us alone in the
same windowless room

we are all of us blind and
screaming at the deaf
and there is no such thing
as eternity

there is no such thing as peace

you can’t fight a war against
an enemy w/ no fear of dying
and ever hope to win

the child of any corpse
will tell you this
