They took the knee to the butcher’s apron and stars and stripes
Closed their eyes to the children of Palestine.
National treasures of the empire
Privileged demigods in diamond-cut suits
with golden embossed words,
delirious with indoctrinations for a forever war of nations
ashes to ashes…
And the sky cried rains of domination
Tears of terror and despair falling
Desperate tormented mothers calling, crying out
orphaned babies screaming in the rubble
Their souls scorched by phosphorus, sprinkled sky
crossing continents in the winds of war.
Across the planet humans rose up…
And angels shivered in the ether
As the cosmos wailed
And the drums of Armageddon thundered.
