Listen to the goose steps.....

the march of time
     in goose step rhyme
           hup two three four
                war war war war

twisted minds
     like lemon rinds
           take bitter pill
                and kill kill kill

the pain is real
      the bullets feel
           the rip and tear
                 what do you care?

keep the rhythm
      stroke the gun
            wave your flag
                  at everyone

the march of time
        in goose step rhyme
             feeds war machine
                  and pockets dime

and they all went marching
down
to the woods
to get out
of the rain
BOOM BOOM BOOM

The visual is excellent.

The message SHOULD be apparent.

Hugs Kacy.

I'm with you all the way on this'n.



Happy holidays...and PEACE.
