Sons Of The Soil

blood seeps through the soil
a spill that you've seen to with toil
in the name of the people
for the greater good, you cry
with ideals that keep you blind
and fingers always on a trigger
as you feed on misery
and then feed the misery
''sons of the soil we are,'' you claim
''upholders of the future we are,'' you shout
i couldn't agree more
with the truth crushed beneath
justified with the venom that you spew
for the future you're trying to spawn
while you trample on our slowly forgotten past
i watch in horror and i'm consumed
with my mothers and sisters
in your burning hate
where are your subjects now?
now that we're gone
with the blood that seeps through
your precious soil

Violence is an unavoidable part of human nature...another reason I hate being human...this is a very sobering piece...great phrases that convey a strong message powerfully...the anger and exasperation is spilling through your words...just great!
I wonder why there aren't more people following your work.
