In the bloodstream
In my life war has been the always flickering light lead men
to light
Seeing the muzzle flashes like mosquito’s to a bug zapper
Why is courage symbolized in gun or country?
Once gold coins pressed to eyelids as token for passage
Death came marching in with flag and national security
Playing his war drum
Invigorated by the rally for a warrior
As the con men of democracy tattered them across flag and
newspaper
I have lived in 15 years of war with no change in sight
War and propaganda
Winning over hearts and minds with oil and protection
While we stand dying like a symptom of a disease embedded in
the bloodstream
