Scarlet's Remains

Nothing has changed!I see fountains of bloodDevastation birthed of greedBillowing sails beget a cycle of genocideThe soil is cursed, the souls suffer plagueA grim reminder of an earlier ageAt what price do we acquire?At what price do we acquire?I see bodies swinging in the windFaces bloated and bruisedBurning crosses brand terror intoThe heart of a race, the soul of a nationA grim attempt at annihilationSo in slavery did we acquireRotten! Our souls are rotten at the coreWe provoke ugliness to emerge from beautyEverything that we touch becomes filthySoiled!Soiled!I see barbed wire encirclingThe forms of a disenfranchised populationSongtexteWho based on their country of originAre held captive as traitorsAre taught humiliationSo in internment did we trust no oneRotten! Our souls are rotten at the coreWe provoke ugliness to emerge from beautyEverything that we touch becomes filthySoiled!Soiled!I see the impoverished native on the concentration camp we call a reservationI see the innocent Arab removed from his family on false accusationsI see the man on death row, framed for speaking outI see the welfare mother plucked from her children to slave for minimum wageI see the perpetuation of evil and nothing has changedNothing has changed!Nothing has changed!
