NIHILIZED

NIHILIZED
2/96

To sanctify the mind’s addiction
To patronize the aching of my time
I Don’t believe in predetermination
But somehow this fate feels like mine
It’s an ending of my tongue
Just a clip the wings of young
Now you are one of us

Monkeys grip the camels back
And the final straw is cast
Nihilize all of us
And when you find the spine, dilute the strong
Just another casualty to drag, drag along
The guts hits grenade
Salute another hero made
One dies saving five
Who most deserves to be alive?

To dilute the cells distinction
As we question our extinction
Martyrs polished by a god
That always pushes law and order
and wants the land across the border
Their sons soon will fertilize the sod

To sanctify our kinds addiction
Is to sanctify the killing of our kind
One race? Why not one nation?
But somehow the remedy remains so sublime
Or is it a taking of the tongue
Clip the wings of young?

Now you are one of us.
