WARNING!!!!!


Saturn’s ring burn bright against the black sky

patterns of dreams fight against the cracked minds

stars shooting across the chasms of space

cars shooting bullets at the battered race

 

racism resists the urging of logic

casings of ammo left from purging projects

the stars look down and frown at us

The rain is their tears, drowning us

 

maybe their tears can wash our sins away

instead our fears turn into genocide, another billion we slay

we watch the explosions of supernova illuminate the sky

It gives us inspiration for desecration, mighty weapons born for men to die

 

The sun is enraged and angry, turning away from the earth

abhorred that we could harness his power that grows life and encourages birth

instead we used it to murder and enslave

instead we used it to send our species to the grave.
