Kids with guns
Conflict
And antagonism
Antipathy
Poking the bear
Why
What’s the motivation
For such evil intent
The lines on a map
Imaginary
And not seen from space
Pushing the boundaries
With cultural appropriation
Do you not like my food
Or the clothes that I wear
My god is great
So shut the fuck up
And bow at my church
Your government instructs
A religious overreach
Or Faustian bargaining
The undead
Ruling the living
Necromancers on acid
Velsharoon
A demigod
Let’s follow him
It’s what we deserve
The seven Deadly Sins
Now up to ten
What do you believe
Is it worth dying for
Or killing another
That you’ve never even meet
And just like you
As your sages instruct
It’s your duty you know
But does it feel right
Crazy as fuck
And not a Disney movie
I’d want to watch
Please explain
What’s going on
Bastet and Anubis
The cat in the underworld
As bizarre as it sounds
It’s storytelling to justify war
Gilgamesh he would be proud
Culling ourselves
Time after time
And what did we learn
Are we preprogrammed
Via persistent propaganda
From the first day of school
Fight for your country
Your religion
Comes first
Kids with guns
In poppy fields
