Blood money

 


It's a crime
an insult
an outrage
to make money
off killing.
 
When entire industries
profit from war
we know our society
has lost its heart
and its soul. 

When our government
lies us into war$
and works with apartheid nations
in order to steal historic lands
and locks millions into
open air prisons,
reducing their food intake
knowing they will die
a hungry early death,
then we know our nation
has crawled in bed
with the devil.
 
This is how to spell
blood money. 
This is how to spell 
evil.
 
Those who invest
in order to make 
bundles of cash
off the killing
of innocents
are no better
than those who 
pull the triggers.
 
America has long ago
lost it's reason for being.
Just in my lifetime
Korea, Vietnam,
Iraq, Afghanistan,
Syria, Ukraine,
Palestine
and many more.
All were war crimes.
 
Our so-called leaders
deserve only 
one thing.
They should be locked
in jail
for life
and made to feel
some of the
deprivation
of life
that they have rendered
onto millions
around our weeping
Mother Earth.
 
The neo-cons in
Washington
and Tel Aviv,
this time,
have over played
their dark hands.
 
The whole world
is marching.
