Grain Matter

Condoleezza’s bowl is always full with rice, which is nice for her; others search to find another grain, many in the pouring rain

Not rice in a field, but on the streets, the same place those cats eat their meat, Will you cry for the meek as you eat your sheep

Your goggle box shows you images of a bird in an oil slick, that’s sick. But the rumble in the jungle of a Childs stomach is sick. Think for a second which help comes quicker

Finger on the button with a grin, the bushy tailed fox sees his own people eat out of a bin

Sly bastards who don’t care, sly bastards who stare

Where does it begin, where does it start, at the ballot box maybe in part

You don’t choose who is your mother, as Kane didn’t choose his brother, but who would choose big brother

A son of a bush or a burning bush which do you choose, help one person in this life as they have everything to loose

Mankind

WE have Destroyed and we have raped Mother earth

WE have invaded space and wasted time

WE have made nature un-natural

WE have driven God's creatures into extinction

WE have persecuted and executed generations of Man

WE are not MEN, and we are unkind

WE have destroyed mankind

WHY?

That is THE question
