Libations/Roots

Colorblind dogs still hold fear for a snake's shade
Bark with a pause and then wait for the hiss made
Concave mentalities curving back the same way
Assimilated hibernation, waking for our Pompeii

Tectonic plate pace
Watch the smoke 'til the lava greets your home base
Hammer sickle flags sold to tourists from a rich state
Che Guevara tank tops made with some cheap labor

The divide coincides with the distance from the equator
It’s the fate of the world, I don’t see it really changing
When one tiger falls, they be ready with replacements
Their stripes the only difference, variation of the spacing

But we don’t really care 'til it meddles with our payment
Peddling some courage to just pour it for libations
Distorted narrations, wavering truths
Military complex, the simpler excuses

From a soldier to king to a pacifist Buddhist
The puddle is the same but not the way it’s polluted
From a soldier to king to a pacifist Buddhist
The walls built the same but not the window that seals it
