Does Anyone Know Who We're Bombing Today
does anyone know who we're bombing today,
evidence is gone with melted flesh,
bones turned to dust,
villages disappeared,
cries of pain lost in clouded explosions,
generations flow faded to crumbled hope,
does anyone know we fill nights' sky,
targeting the untargetable,
did any of us get to vote on this homicide,
are we the shadow of violence,
slipping into dark corners,
scalpel in hand,
choosing victims for the cut of death,
are we the locust that consumes human fields,
does our hunger covet this earth,
does anyone know what's going on,
we are armed and ready,
stealth is a dance we know so well,
under cover of flag we are genociders,
media puppets are fed on schedule,
they throw up a killers meal,
masked to hide the stench annihilation,
does anyone know who we're bombing today,
who we bombed yesterday,
who we have in mind for tomorrow,
what do the killers tell their grandchildren,
do they give them toy guns with live ammunition,
hide them in lead lined shelters,
explain to them why they have no playmates,
why air is poison,
why windows are plastered with secrets,
ghost committees of oil drinkers,
munition makers,earth thieves,
meet behind our troubled eyes,
we don't realize a need for vision of discovery,
to question unknown moves of elected liars,
walking blind in patriotic mist,
over mass graves covered with plastic flowers,
does anyone know who we're bombing today,
do we accept there is danger of our execution,
do we let this deceptive shade fall across our heart,
does any one know extinction will be our gift,
chain reaction of false leaders hate,
their quest for power and elusive crowns,
what do we tell our grandchildren,
what do we say when they ask for toy guns and live ammunition,
does anyone know who we're bombing today,
does anyone no where,
are we so sure our leaders don't have us in their sites,
does anyone know,
does anyoneknow.
