Funeral Ceremony Of Innocence

Let’s talk about death

Let’s talk about decay

Let’s talk about rot n’

Corpses that kiss the earth

When soil drinks the blood

Of those who lost the bet

And caress their skewered gut

Let’s talk about an orphan’s curse

And the riddle of spilled blood

Let’s open forbidden books

Let’s talk history

Let’s dig up our roots

Research our chemistry

Let’s talk morality

And the simple creed of human feels

Let’s talk about hate

And how the over-spill degenerates

Let’s talk about conflicts

That throw relations in a fix

Lets’ talk about wars

And the cost of wars

Let’s talk about the waste

In the wake

Of tragedies

That’s catching like allergies

Let’s talk about the funeral ceremony

Of innocence and the attendees

Let’s talk about child abuse

About human rights abuse

And the organizations that put it to use

Let’s talk about tyrants

Who constitute a nuisance

Let’s talk about agitators

And after all has been said and done

Let’s talk about death some more
