Hush

Hush now, Love,
the line is crossed, no more can we go back.
Borders bored with lazy suits,
big dollars in their breasts.
There beat no hearts 'neath pinstripe silk
nor souls that could attest
to famine raised in countries razed,
their dust still in the air.

Hush now, Love,
you can't say that, it's now become a crime.
Only speak to those who drink
the tears of corporate lies.
Say not a word against the herd,
they watch you in your sleep.
Spend not a dime lest you'll recline
on shards of debt and greed.

Smile, my Dear,
this war is ours, the one They say we need.
Profess our love with shrapnel things
despite our breaking dreams.
Pay no mind to other lands
whose people we made bleed.
Our sins are deeds that needed be,
so hone your eyes on this.

Rejoice, my Love,
soon owning naught will make you ever happy.
Believe in what they say is faith,
dream what they wish to hear.
Hush your lips from spoken word
and hush your thoughts in mind.
Hush the truths they paint as lies.
Hush your very life.
