THE WAR OF REVELATION

As you wonder about life coming from the ghettos;

You see junkies and rock-head dwellers;

Survival of the fittest every day is a trail;

Youngsters growing up so innocent and fragile;

After submitting to the oath and the constitution with a crowd;

You would think you were a part of the unified nation feeling so proud;

But sometimes you are confronted with racism and the heirarchial chain of classism;

Blacklisted and placated with sarcasms and cynicalism, your feels became foreign;

The darker you are the bigger the problems;

Placed into the revelation of the biblical scriptures as soldiers reaching for the stars;

You noticed Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan, Pakistan, America, and Afghanistan;

All fill with vengeance, hatred, and resentment for their fellow men;

Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabs call the truce! World Peace... Stop the killing;

Machine guns, bombs, and tanks we are becoming endangered species;

Harmful to ourselves we are the products of our own absences shattered in pieces;

Since the beginning of time we have been in arms fighting;

losing lives while the Pentagon keeps rising;

We must remember that we are God's children;

The earth was never made to be ruled by one race;

To all colors and creeds that's who it belongs;

We crave lands, mansions, glitters, and golds;

Diamonds in Africa and oil under our control;

The world's natural resources and all its residuals;

But comes then the foes... We have to guard them with missiles;

Now we have become the most wanted;

Who will come and save us form our self-destructive vesssels?
