Of Monsters And Common Men.

The common men, fought for common men,
Friend made foe and mother lost son,
Necks were decapitated, the limbs amputated,
For shelter the wilderness provided,
And blood was mercilessly spilled,
The common men fought the monsters in power.

Guns, bombs boomed, machetes were wielded and the fires lit,
For the bodies were strewn like a ghost fleet,
Childless fathers, brother-less sisters wailed,
Onto their tears a ship could’ve sailed,
As the common men fought the monsters in power.


They won.

Onto the throne, the common men now sit,
And corrupted by power they now become one,
With the monsters they once fought.
The once common men, now uncommon men made,
They loot and plunder, rape and kill,
And watch the common men die.
