The Lords Of Humankind are not morally righteous. They are Saturn devouring his children. And they do have human form.
They pretend
That they are
Morally righteous
The Presidents
The Prime Ministers
The Foreign Ministers
The myriad of homicidal monsters
And their henchmen
Occupying positions of power
Getting wealthy and fat
They threaten and act
Blood drips
From their lying, hypocritical mouths
Legions of propagandists mould
Their genocidal fantasies
For the alienated masses
The lies they hone to finesse
Spread efficiently to hundreds of millions
Spread efficiently, rapidly, digitally
Maybe billions mesmerised
Their moral militaries
Commit industrial scale war crimes
Cluster bombs, Phosphorus Bombs
Drones, Cruise Missiles
All the military paraphernalia
To obliterate, kill, murder, the Other
The Enemy
More quickly
More Efficiently
The Enemy
The Palestinians
Killed Day in Day out
Daily incrementally
Massively regularly
The Palestinians
The Palestinians
The Palestinians
But, hey, the Lords
Of Humankind
Are not morally righteous
They are Saturn
Devouring his children
And they do
Have human form
