-When the
bombs dropped we all stood in awe-
-Our
pupils dilated with the sinking squall-
-Our
spines tingled from the spectacle-
Freedom
labeled O-I-L
May devil
tongues trick and roll;
Swat at
flies with half the hands
Checkmate
gambits and cowboy conceptions
Utilized
without knowing better
Exported
as if a commodity
Imposed at
will as a natural right
Freedom
labeled O-I-L
Just
knocked at your front door
May devil
plots implement and prolong
While
adapting to altering excuses and feigns
Spreading
across the globe their cause
On treads
crushing empty casings
Years will
hold them in contempt
Days will
demoralize the populace
Freedom
labeled O-I-L
Just shook
hands with eternal strife
May devil
facts enlighten themselves
Elucidate
the screaming souls
Shrapnel-coated
life routines
Still
pursued by faux legitimacy
When the
specters are through with their rapping
And the
thoroughfares are riddled with IEDs
Freedom
labeled O-I-L
Just
sealed the phenomenal flop
