A part of me died The part that is envious Cold hearted and devious Greedy, mischievous Global, colonial Bloodthirsty, blind Mindless and cheap Focused on borders And slaughter and sheep
Burning of books Bulldozing of homes Giving to targeted killing with drones Lethal injections Arrest without trial Monocular vision Gangrene and slime Unction, sarcasm Common assault
Self-satisfied heroic killers Lifted on high Piracy adverts Acid attacks On women by bullies And perverts and hacks The rigging of ballots And the buying of power
Lies from the pulpit Rape in the shower Mute, indifferent Feeling no shame Portly, important Leering, deranged Sat in the corner Watching Tv Deaf to the cries of Children in pain
Dead to the world Just watching the game Watching endless repeats Out of sight, out of mind Silence, indifference The ultimate crime But when I met you That part of me died Bring me a bowl To bathe her feet in
Bring me my final cigarette It would be better by far to die in her arms Than to linger In a lifetime of regret
