He Held A Rifle To An Innocent Woman's Womb Last Night
Bullets Battered Her Broken-Until She Bent To The Beat Of The Congo
Coloring Her The Cascade of Crimes
The Reminiscent Hues Of Rape
Red Splashes On Black Canvas
Splashes Of Red Run Down Her Black Angles
Stripping Her Life To The Depths (Deaths) Of Black Anguish
Airbrushing Her Masterpiece To Pieces
Stroking Her To The Atomic Cords Of Hiroshima
There were these 3 Soldiers
Meaning That She Had NO SHOT!
1 Bomb
A Civil War
Charcoaled Her Soul The Silhouette Of Bayonets
Uranium-235 Engulfing Her Pride
Pasteling Her Present To A Past That Won’t Pass
You See, Her Innocence Suffers The Synchronized Sorrows Of Sisters From Sierra Leone
Murals of Mutilated Mothers Against Pressed Walls
That Refused To Be Stroked Against Their Suppressed Walls
Got- Rifles To Their Wombs.. And Machetes To Their Arms
As They Lay There Armless With No Arms To Pray
Genocides Perpetuated By Children Stripped Of Their Childhood
Young Boys Childhood Cutoff To Be Recruited To This -Rebellious War
This- Rebellious War We Still Fight
That Manifested With No Universal Limits
Just Man Infested Lies That Bruise Lives For A Living
Tainting Our Souls The Treacherous Colors Of Suicide
(BANG)
Another Ax To The Arms
(BANG)
Another Mother Mourns The Next Morning Over Her Son That Is Gone
Bluish Bruises With A Hint Of Grey
That Get Blended Into These Silver Bullets Along The Way
Look How Oppression Reigns (Rains) Like The Rays From Napalm
As the Ripple Effects Of Genocide In Rwanda Resonate Across the Corners Of The Congo
Where- Women are Ostracized After Being Ruined By Rape
Where -Husbands' Fighting Words
Will Have Them Biting Curbs
And The Back of Their Heads Greeted By The Bottom Of Boots
It’s Sad But It’s True
And They Lay There, With Heals To Their Hearts
As They Watch Their Women Get Torn Apart
They Lay There- As Wives Get Torn Apart By Their Lips
And Painted The Pigments Of The Apocalypse
To Be Sentenced To The Corners Of Hell
Wondering How The Hell Did This Happen?
And We Sit Here- As They Suffer.. Displaced, Defaced, And-
Decorated The Colors Of Desolation
With All These Colors..
How Could We Be So Blind
With All These Colors..
How Could We Be So Blind
We’re In Great Need Of Salvation…
(BANG)
Another Soldier Lays Lifeless
Realizing He’s Been Living In The Absence Of Religion- Trying To Bare Witness-
To A Jehova Amongst A Jihad...
In His Last Seconds
Wondering If There’s Still A Heaven-
For The Heartless
Casted In The Acrylics Of White Sin Can’t You See…
Where In Great Need Of Salvation..
