tell me how does it feel
to hear your leader lecture like an angry father
threatening pointed voice little boy fear
knowing the belt buckle learning to lie
angry at the lies washed white
does the stench linger?
Prairie Chapel Road, Crawford, Texas
lined on the left and lined on the right
going or coming voices sobbing
anger is the birth of violence
turn around don’t drown.
“Let them eat cake,” the Queen proclaimed.
“Let US eat oil,” King George squeaked.
The road to violence is fiery hell
The road to peace is peace.
Lead US not into the temptation
of controlling Earth
But deliver US from our evil ways.
Amen.
