War

An open letter

To the powers that be

You may not remember

But you used to know me

And I've known you

For a very long time

You're the reason

that I get lost in rhyme

A shadow among many

Just lost in the crowd

That's where you put me

Because I was too loud

You shouldn't have done that

Because now I can hide

And I've had a nice little chat

With the others you've set aside

I can't help but smile

At the mistakes that you've made

Not knowing all the while

The price to be paid

Because we got to thinking

About all of our rage

About how it's hot enough

To melt the fucking cage

Funny thing about putting

All your problems in one place

Instead of twisting the knife

While looking in our face

We haven't been idle

We have plans of own

And a special little place

To bury all of your bones

Because unlike you

We no longer have to hide

Because now we are legion

Feeding off the rage you supplied

If I were you

I'd take the easy way out

Because once you're with us

There won't be any doubt

Free of hesitation

And ready to die

For the brand new nation

You tried to deny

We'll be seeing you soon

Have no fear about that

Our vengeful platoon

Is ready for combat
