Dead Hand

Dead Hand               10/24/2016

Outside of space

And outside of time

The spirit resides

Fluid and free.

Untouchable, uncontainable

And free

The immortal soul

Unfettered by measurement

And control. 

The only thing we have

And the only thing

We can keep

But still often neglected

In the here and now. 

But this world

It is a rotted waste

Full of bitterness

And terror. 

In the shadows

The controllers hide

Behind walls and guards

They plot and plan. 

Rewarding the corrupt

And mindlessly obedient

No matter what the cost

Bankrupt and merciless. 

But to their enemies

They bring nothing but death

Above the law

And above reproach.

A cartel

And a cabal

Exclusive, hidden

Satanic and cruel. 

The architects of chaos

And benefactors of evil

Pitting brother against brother

In endless wars.  

Shifting flags

And shifting colors

They hide behind philanthropy

Barbaric, and sadistic. 

Profiting from starvation

And laughing at genocide

They set up a crossfire

For you

And for me.  

Treacherous and deadly

The high priests of death

Desperately seeking immortality

Through privilege and power. 

Watch them lie

And watch them scheme

Predictable as the sun

Profiting from chaos

And murder for fun.

Cutting us apart

And cutting us down

Lying that it is hopeless

For us to resist

Or try. 

Take heart

For we already know

How all of this will end

The end from the beginning

Who will rise

And who will win.
