Battle war ravaged hate
Borne this dirt poison free
Thin narrow selected few
Royalty of being white

Arrogant democratic fifty stars
Sharpened gold, pure silver, platinum price tag
Life after life, death to death generate
Millions, antfarm of the queen
Dirty work, labor field, paraphernalia
Overdose rotten decay 50, 60 coffin hold

Guilty punished and segregated
Seperated
Singled out

Free of disease
A "MAN" they say
little boy, must be stupid  
quit stop dont
loser

Dictate free speech muted imprisonment
Shhhhh.... secret
Desire
Fat
Dead and trying

Let it burn.

All that is great once was small.

This is strong stuff, I'm still digesting, but the images you created were amazing. Especially the part about the ants.

a lot to take in, but great

i think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will gain a new perspective.

Thank you everyone. Basically just saying let them have it, and take it, and whatever else they'll do.
