Curtain Fire

Under constant barrage,
Atrocities unfurl.
Cover taken in the camouflage,
Volcanic mirage.
A cratered lunar landscape,
Bombed to glass as armies pass.
Executed with a bloody handshake,
More hardware for the brass.

Curtain fire,
Anguish.
Curtain fire,
Eulogy vanquished.
Curtain fire,
Live for the conquest and the profits of war.

Troubled self sabotage,
Devotions divide.
Your death in a montage,
Folded flags in a garage.
A patchwork of scars sewn by the pushers.
Terrorized by a bloody handshake,
More hardware for the brass.

Curtain fire,
Anguish.
Curtain fire,
Eulogy vanquished,
Curtain fire,
Live for the conquest,
Denied a break from war.

Dig through the carnage,
Exposed bone and organ sewage.
Maybe then you'll get the message as you're buried with the bullets.
Paved into paradise.
