Third World Poetry

Universe collide, suicide thoughts survive
Revival of the fittest, survival of the shittiest
Giving this species another taste of this feces
Pieces of the puzzle demand the sunshine
But seasons change, and leaves the passion in landmines
Mankind reaches for any signs of peace
Give it what I got, the living truth released
Pitch it in a pot, collect It for the deceased
Now see them overseas, see them going to war
See they’ve got a reason
See them dying for
Their own personal freedom, you got yours
It’s a crying shame, it’s a crying game
It’s a no win situation and everyones a loser
While we wait here patiently, giving bruises and bullets
Im ready to pull at the plug, fix this nation here
Fix this facial expression, got us waiting here for the next killer to penetrate
Innocent til proven guilty, yet we kill these, children of the world, turning to children of war, lifes based on a movie that’s rated r
So we gotta kill these kids, so the ratings start to soar

Make war (cuts)

Throats getting cut, skulls penetrated daily
Almost givin up on this life
Had to choose, had to jump on the right side to make humanity right
I took my family and fled at night, without a light
The best way to keep alive, and aint no curfew, no five oh
Its all about your bloodline, the gat that you carry and survival
We keep on shedding tears for the families that didn’t make it, but now its time to move on,
Cause when its on til the break of dawn, you cant sleep, every second danger creeps around your peeps
Leave the wife and kids at the village while im out early in the morning with my cousins for a week to handle world wide beef
Only 21 yet ill die for what I believe
Knowing that therell be no piece
So fuck the world, cause the world don’t give a fuck
Young kids growing up fast, loaded up strapped, with aks
Widows picking up that automatic, taking their husbands place
Winning these battles means gripping tight of control for the time we exist
Living harsh in this third world paradise
Just to be precise, ive seen the truth, extermination of the youth
Bodies mutilated bad enough to make a grown man puke
Its just a pity, im forced to do the same thing too
Young babies getting fed morphine at the river crossing
Well are you one of them, just wondering, platforms they thundering
Rumbling day to night, drive bys aint nothing to these air strikes, carry on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
