inFESTATION
They hate to see us
But they really hate how hard it is to get rid of us
They despise how fast we retaliate
Because it’s impossible to annihilate our infestation
We’re crushed under their weight
But their weight will be only their own downfall
Because they throw all that weight at us
And when they miss us, their spent
They collapse into the earth, stuck
As we tread free, let free
Multiply and double the numbers
So they spray their hate like pesticides
Try to melt us with their acids
Some of us take the hit and we reassemble
Ready to rumble and riot for our revolution
We start marching and that is our resolution
They take tour to settle score
Have us wiped off and rubbed off
Setting traps to answer back
But we avoid them and they fall on their own snare
Because with the realization they haven’t come up with
Is our advantage
The very point of the matter
That every dog trained for evil will eventually bite its master
Every tool constructed for evil will eventually kill its creator
Their last ditch attempt - a holocaust
Eventually this is how all aimed hatred ends
From prejudice to hostility to all-out war
So they throw their bricks
Pick up their sticks
Their quick fix
Pursue and ensue us with guns and eliminate us one by one
Many of us fell and we cried for the slain
But rest not in vain, they’ll see us again
Our whole army will be back, not with torches and forks
But with candle-lighters and peace signs
This is why they hate us, because we’re different, diverse
Designated to be distant, but alike-designed
So tell them to be armed
Because the rose will always grow with the thorns
The hurtful and the peaceful will always be bred in every generation
They will be the exterminators armed with their walls,
Their guns, weapons, and traps
Their marches, rallies, and propaganda
But that only encourages our infestation
There are forces I have foreboding and admiration for… things such as fate, God, and the boundaries of the human spirit. I do not fear bullies, tyrants, and cowards. These forces attack by control and power – they won’t kill us – only suppress us. These supernatural forces attack in the most private moments and leave no footprint – no bias – and by no human understanding. No force came before nor will any come after. In retrospect, I fear no union, no order, no force, no man – but God.
