We send money to the sky
While we starve
We kill beautiful things
To hang on the wall
We poison the water we drink
Drain the ground that holds us all
We sell air
That we breathe
While we choke
We burn everything
Just to watch it fall
We draw lines on maps with ink
Designed to control us all
We print money for war
But not education
Not human aid
Not for our children
We kill each other
To prove who really knows best
& then pat ourselves on the back
blood and lace
