Cry No More
Cry me a river
While you dampen
my senses
With your
bewildering and bewitching gaze
Feel my heart
beat
While it skips
to your rhythm
And your music
penetrates my soul
You have
infiltrated my realm of possibilities
Making it
impossible for me to conceal
The torch I
carry
Holding my
steadfast yearning for you
Let’s build a
bridge
A subterranean
cavern
That connects us
Made of dirt and
dust and stone
Let us wade
through the deception
Of cobwebs
That hold
painful truths
But instead free
us
Of our tangled
pasts
There we will
meet
Freeing us
No longer
burdened
But instead
Liberated
Cry me a river
A torrent flow
Submersing me
Lubricating my
mind and body
Not a trickle
But a flood
Soak, then drown
me
With your
passions
Saturate me
Until I can’t
hold more
Unleashing us
both
In unison
To cry no more
Us In The US

I don’t believe
in war
I do not condone
violence
I have no guns
It’s those like
me
Who have become
targets
Of those who
kill for sport
We aren’t just
people anymore
We are the enemy
An enemy within
A corrupt man’s
sick mind
Us in the US
Those with a
sickness
A thirst for
blood
Those without
conscience
Programmed to
kill
They are out
there
Coming for you
Coming for me
They are
unleashed
Their
brainwashing
And conditioning
Is complete
There’s blood
money
For each carcass
It doesn’t
matter now
Who you are
What shade
Your name
Your occupation
Your sex or age
The more docile
you appear
May make you
Their next
target
You are exactly
Who they are
looking for
An easy target
An easy kill
In their warped
minds
Whose
conditioning
Consists
Of playing video
games
Killing
To see blood
To quench their
thirst
But beware
Violence breeds
violence
No one is beyond
reacting
When you see
them taking
One of your own
Us in the US
We are not your
enemy
You are now ours
You have shown
your face
Even though your
goons
Still are such
cowards
They cover
theirs
We know your
name
We know where
you live
We cannot allow
Any more killing
You are now
Our target
To rid Us in the
US
Of you
With no soul
You brought us
to this place
You can blame
yourself
Now you can feel
the fear
Us in the US
We now stand
together
Against you
