NERO’S FIDDLE

Hark! I hear Music and Song…

Hark the herald Angels sing of Death!

As the Galilean weeps and turns his cheek

Forsaken again and again

It is Nero’s Fiddle!

Bittersweet Karma…

As History repeats

While hordes run amok

And grandeur that was

Is once again grand no more

“Vengeance is Mine” sayeth the American Jesus!

“Vengeance is Mine” sayeth ISIS!

Shock and Awe!

They hate us because we are we

Shock and Awe!

We hate them because they are them

Muslims Blacks the Poor the Rich

the Them

O say, can you see

By the white heat of hate and the rockets’ red glare

The twilight tomb of our nation?

Our Karma

Truth crucified

Un-resurrected

Radioactive lies

Rotting in the maw of History’s stench

Nourishing but Jackals and Hyenas preying on toxic remains

Again and again and again…

Nero’s Fiddle

Our Karma
