Second Tooth
(not much need)
distraught
wake up in sweat
something is very different
no water hot or cold
walk out in the street greet the morning gun battles
needless
no need to understand
in a foreign land with gun in hand
killing is respected a way of showing faith
within a country's need to exercise death penalities
where were you
now in the chair to burn
twenty years ago killing reds in 'nam
who is worse when war is far away?
not much for sympathy a number count of casualties
return so burned with nothing left to learn
murder now invigorates the unwashed bloody hands
kill again
let the family burn
do little to comfort anguishing
no decision could ever warrant this
war is just a childrens game
no pretending
dead
why?
dear god
whom we project
its useless killing children to satisfy the arms budget
who walks right or left a child won't give a damn
nations arise to reason
the conceptions threatened for economic steps
is it time to shut down and lay to rest the bomb
that servant suicide object worshipped like a god
be there now blown clear the human race
what use is there of figures
wrote wordless statistic
names and numbers now seem out of place
a paper representating life blowing down the street
kill again
