We get our kicks from kicks

 BY ALEM HAILU G/KRISTOS

Please allow us a stalemate

Please allow us a stalemate

Roughish, grabbed by the throat

We’re gasping for oxygen, against

Fellow countrymen, yet

To fully unleash our hate!

Please let us a chance

Please let us a chance

By self-seeking hypocrites

To pull down

A great nation

A secession agenda

We are charged to advance!

Our being a Trojan-horse

Is not by hap stance;

Know you must

Born to kill, to loot

We don’t give a hoot

To a blood river

Even that of those

Hailing from our root.

What a nice thing

 Our riders, our occupants

In our favor could pull a string.

Please allow us a stand off

Please allow us a stand off

Though piles of bodies

Is our treasure trove

Ask us not hands off

Disarrayed, we and our likes

Have to retreat to

A cove or grove

To reorganize

And once more

Grill fellow citizens

On a terror stove!

Please afford us time

Please afford us time

 Though grisly is each of

Our innumerable crime

To absolve ourselves

Buying journalists, aid directors

Monetizing human suffering

We have to continue fibbing.

Please show

To the merciless mercy

Please show

To the merciless mercy

To the devil gramercy;

Take us not crazy

You see

The global community

Specially the conceptual west

Affected by truth anemia

 Is subjected to insomnia.

How come then

It sleeps at the wheel

When we kill, unwilling

Its eyes to peel?

Also it sits on its hands

When we damagingly advances.

We meet our ends

Using all tricks

As we get our kicks from kicks.

Ahoy

Peace talk has turned

A decoy. ///
