At War With Thy Neighbor - Vindicator

waking up, we start our day

by turning on the media

to hear what they should say

we can not think

we can not speak

without their lasting wisdom

to keep us on our feet

they tell us things

like who to fight

point us to our enemy

and tell us why we’re right

to hate them all

they’re not the same

guilty by affiliation

setting spark to flame

a chip on the shoulder

is it clip in the gun

we simply call them neighbors

and that is where it stops

basting bad behavior

in a dirty social melting pot

this life would be too easy

if we thought to give respect

as human beings our love of hate

is all we recollect

with ten feet between us

there’s nowhere to run

diversity?

there’s no such word

according to my parties view

difference is absurd

opinions?

that’s a fucking joke

this country should see eye to eye

instead of fanning smoke

domesticated violence

ignorance our point of view

tearing down the silence

with a bull horn and a noose

there is no escaping this warhead of hate

the stone that we’re carving

becomes our own fate

frustration is crushing us

beneath its weight

at war with thy neighbor

we can not agree

on politics, religion,

and all in between

on all subject matters

we can’t get along

digging a trench where a fence

once belonged

hate each others children

hate each others wives

hate each others doings

and how we live life

we’re loading our weapons

and placing our bombs

we’re storming the front

from the safety of each others lawns

at war with thy neighbor

no love from thy own

at war with thy neighbor

we’re creating war from

behind the front door of our homes
