with blood in the eye

the marines are coming
the marines are coming

the guardians of freedom are running
with guns drawn, they are shooting
the people of the land in the name of freedom

they're squelching dissenters
lest fear trap the loyal in movement and care
rallying 'round god cloaked in red, white and blue

they capture strange folk skinned in black and brown
as their children kill friends near the cottage gate
for blood has moistened their eyes
and their hands are red from weeping

the land must be defended in the time of crisis
though we be the crisis whose time has come




Flee the gods that whip you.
Flee the gods of Desire.
Mouth open, fly 'cross the fields
fly and don't look back.
Run on the edge of death.
You need not be a whippping child.
All gods are passing-powers
fragile as their bended knees, pursuing.
Ready yourself for laughter.
Their fall is at hand
for other gods pursue as well 
amd these will be made the less
for all giants fall and bow to Death
have an end you know full well.

So, flee the gods that whip you.
You need not be a whipping child.
Flee the god within you,
the one with whip in hand.




There's always someone smarter than you in some way.
