We've Already Seen the Burning
we've already seen the burning monks and children alive, we've already seen destroyed cities all of our lives, body bags homeward bound, politicians always compromised. snipers in the windows on newark ave, next to buildings burning, killers of all stars and stripes, flags, and insignias, corporate towers tumbling to the ground read the history books of the razing of greenwood, slavery, apartheid, occupations, and torture chambers abound who would think we'd still be surprised. Aghast at our own stupidity. old civilizations praised in history books, ideas of democracy and freedom compromised, what was then is not now, hope has always gone unrealized. we already saw all the pictures, videos, film, already read and heard the excuses, the constitutions reasonings, a government no longer believing in anything. we don't need any more proof of their mutually assured destruction, their fully loaded hypocrisy, not far enough
