whose emancipation
See that gold that you hold an stroke
that's the same gold that does make some other man choke
in a smoke box of fury where no poor feet tread the earth
only contaminated souls corrupted by their own wealth
this is their mantra so go hear them cry
''kill all the bad men go make them die''
but who are the bad men i question an ask
do they creep round wearing guns knives an masks?
or do they simply ask questions to threaten their accusers role,
as ultimates of distribution power an control
limit their flourishing tied up in the guise of religion as a tool
repetitive mind wash to make of clever minds fools,
watch the people wilt like some poor unfed flowers
why you dine and gamble from your ivory towers
pawns in strategy on cut up pieces of this earth
patrolled by beasts with unquenchable thirsts
for all that does glitter and where slick oil don't taste bitter
to their rich financed pallets and cold unfeeling hearts
but these pawns have their place even after their cut
not so easily discarded like some infected slut
to the pawns
the sun feels your anger, the earth breaths your pain
the mud feels your tears that's mingles massica blood rain
Sierra Leone, Burma, Tibet, Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza strip,
Darfe and Kuwait and all the others not mentioned of late
raped for you riches and plundered for your gold
weep for the children that carry guns as these endless wars unfold
ripped from their parents burnt for their of fates place of births
westerners question your riches, did they get their just deserts?
all your possessions that your adorned in
what was the true cost? ask your selves this how many innocent lives lost?
and its all just a smoke screen to keep you asleep
all just a smoke screen so your not tempted to peek
at the real goings on in this torn apart world
don't be so silly there's nothing wrong with this world.
