Rivers of Blood Flow thru the Corporate-Spine Spin

By Diana Gwinn
8/2004

 

On a conveyor belt of carnage and death
Flag draped coffins glide silently by,
Hidden from view.

Sacrificial lambs fed to the false god of insatiable greed and endless war.
Endless war for endless peace.

Corporate spin zone kicked the “Vietnam Syndrome”.
No body bags this time around.

Trapped in 1984, conditioned, unthinking drones
Rest in peace in living tombs.

Wolves wrapped in red, white and blue
Battle dark skinned phantoms.
Emboldened by our silence and indifference to life
Rivers of blood flow

Rivers of blood flow thru the corporate spine
Rest in peace till the end of time.

WAKE UP!

 

 
Earth, a planet hungry for peace

 Apartheid Wall

   
The Israeli Land-Grab Apartheid Wall built inside the Palestinian territories, here separating Abu Dis from occupied East Jerusalem. (IPC, 7/4/04).

 

The Israeli apartheid (security) wall around Palestinian population centers in the West Bank, like a Python. (Alquds,10/25/03).
