They kidnapped peace

Then made it kill for it’s release 

Gave a home to disease, beheaded young skyscrapers

Built rockets aimed at a fresh crater

Hammered apathy with a heavy foot

Made chocolate tongues taste like soot 

They cured disease

Then made it spread for its reprieve 

Built a home for peace, using gold sticks and stones

Let the desert hawks target a throne

Painted mountains with a smoking haze

Bulldozed nightmares into rubbled weekdays 

They captured thieves

Then made them steal for their receipts

Saw homeless disease, sleeping on the pavement 

Soon punished it for being vagrant

Recycled their painful destiny

Then sold it back to their worst enemy
