Advice from fallen angels
In a conference of murderers
who can you trust?
All those knives
all those lies
In an alliance of economies
where do you bank?
No place of residence
no character reference
With your back to the wall
you have only fists, feet and teeth
You fight with no rules
because they made the rules
When you're betrayed and hung out
you have nowhere to turn
When your rights mean their victory
do you recognise theirs?
And those who stand in appeasement
to feather their own cowardice
do they believe their reward will come soon
when the weak are so easily culled?
The conference of murderers
is an omen foretold
Murder will no longer be murder
if killing is not done
So ready your armour disown all goodwill
mark well your targets and kill fucking kill...

Thank you all for the likes on this one.
I suspect some might find the final line a little jarring. I am not a pacifist although I have in the past given it a great deal of thought.
I believe there comes a time when to defend decent human values of equality and respect for all is necessary. Unfortunately such resolve often means abandoning basic human values of not killing. This is not something I say lightly as I abhour violence.
Any escalation toward murderous conflict needs to be mananged with the wisdom of Solomon, it seems we are short on Solomon's wisdom at this time.
