Onward from Gaza

Have you forgotten Gaza? Then what distracts your care?
Has it left your memory, because it’s over there?
The BBC won’t tell you, nor any public service
That genocide is rampant, and burning like a furnace
Black governments support it, and say with tongue in cheek
‘Our guns destroy the enemies, and not the young and weak’
But school rooms and hospitals, ‘accused’, are said to hide
The fiction of an enemy, we’re told is their inside
So bombs descend from empty skies; blood paints all faces red
Those vessels of the innocent, join the numbered dead
And all the world bears witness, to butchery and slaughter
Then turns with raw indifference, from the sacrificial flaunter

The enemy now rules; no authority was given
Devising now to guide who’s left, to an AI open prison
This is the same aggressor, that Gaza suffers from
Just the mask is different, until your freedoms gone
And now it is your country, that’s falling whilst you stare
At all the moves that evil makes, whilst thinking it won’t dare
Some courts have now decided that justice needs a prod
Stating that this odious force, must face the rule of God
But who will carry out, the wielding of his law
What power can we conjure, to beat it to the draw
The key may stand before you, though not an easy task
It hides behind the uniforms; they’re the ones to ask

Though brainwashed and dependent, dressed up well and fed
There may be some with human hearts, who evil didn’t wed
A seed in need of planting, and watered well with prayer
Could grow a plant of sympathy, whose flower is to care
If words of truth could reach all ears, and soldiers understand
That they are used against their own, who live on common land
The spreading of the greed disease; 'to conquer every nation'
Would then be unsupported; affecting its castration
Do not mistake what’s coming, disguised as bringing progress
The smoke screen of democracy, is just a control process
So if you meet a soldier, just ask him what comes first
The serving of the tyrants, or the quenching of life’s thirst
