False Flag
that damn blue star
you blame a broken system
on a single broken man
what broke him? who chose him?
was this not someone’s plan?
that damn blue star
has become the world’s gag
in more ways than one
we can call it false flag
trauma is currency in your world
but you’ve been feeling lost
yours has depreciated
there’s a new Holocaust
is it wrong of me to wait
for you to prove you’re safe?
to say you dissociate
from their wretched game?
either way, my heart freezes
when I see your last name
they kill our children for you
has it made you feel safer?
have our screams by any chance
ever made you waver?
you’re still out here playing victim
so it says in every paper
as you slowly wrestle
with whatever’s inside
know the world has been waiting
for you to take a side
not to rush you, but your brothers
many others with your name
have been leading our marches
years of putting you to shame
should we be patient
or pray for a flood?
what’s next for that star
soaked in everyone’s blood?
