what the hell will you fall for? what the fuck are you waiting for? does a cat got your tongue? another ar15 minutes another thought, another prayer another nra-hole politician too tightly tucked into bed to care another brown child in a cage while an orange man turns tricks you turn a blind eye to grabbing pussy do you like to watch him suck dictatorships? she is dried out like the desert she is famished, all but vanished by design and her hide out is her cactus heart her own hand grenade, a barricade of spines the sands of time repeating she’s seen suffering before her future takes a beating for some man, some god, some war she is minding her own business steadfastly building castles of sand she is blinded by a raging son who demolishes and calls it all his land those poor holy rolling soldiers’ plights they can’t live without their virgins and whores to lift their strengths and spirits to fight for some man, some god, some war we are sucking out the venom of poisonous scorpions and snakes we are bucking this ecosystem til our mother’s deserts are our daughter’s lakes oh, wondrous, thunderous women together too loud to ignore no more curtsies at the mercy of some man, some God, some war so you're not speaking, you don't like the way your voice quakes but you're teaching your children with every sound that you don't make so you're not marching, you don't like it when your feet ache but your children are watching every step that you don't take it's not good enough to leave well enough alone they got weapons of war, we got pens, shoes, and microphones do you love enough to not leave well enough alone? so you're not giving, you don't really have a dime to spare but your children are invested in a future that you won't share so you're not searching, you'd rather play your trump card but your children are hurting with every fact that you disregard |
