Oil Be home for Christmas....

Oil Be Home for Christmas…

Merry Christmas Lebanon
here have another shell,
it won’t be long now until,
we blow you all to hell.

See we just love a good war,
keeps our people afraid and quiet,
stops them protesting on our streets,
low life bastards better not try it..

But don’t you think your on your
own, we’re bombing Syria as well.
Got to show our missiles off,
we've got hundreds here to sell.

See we really believe in Christmas,
in fact we always celebrate it best.
Can’t you just hear the tills a ringing,
it’s a great time in the capitalist west.

Don’t you go worrying about peace,
you may have some when we've decided.
Just keep sending us some migrants,
keeps our workforce topped up, divided.

So as you prepare to eat more dust,
we’ll be tucking into turkey and trifle.
Eating and drinking till we’re fit to bust,
while your running around with a rifle.

I know Jesus was born in Jerusalem,
so technically that’s the middle east.
But we've plagiarised his life story,
he’s now a sympathetic western warring beast.

We pray to Jesus or his holly father,
while kneeling at the sacred cross.
So keep your screaming to a minimum,
he’s ours now, and your no great loss.

So let’s all have a silent night,
perhaps we can sing a carol.
Don’t dare pray before you fight,
he’s got you over an oil barrel.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
Alternative... Nativity...

great poem here
everyone having a frakken good time
like rap
but like fifties then
the kids sang about
love..dying..
blues booze and lying
so all along been true
the eighties the punks got up
amplifiers frying
screaming out the angst
while the big bombers flying

and too think..years ago
all the killing going on in the name
of religions...or the hundred years
war...bruegel paintings and bosch

was thinking about Moby Dick the new
one...the whalers where everyone
originally got their oil...for a while
coal oil..still a delicate thing..because
the raw stuff laying under the ground
is more towards being ready for use
then the coal.....whale ships go out for
three years.....but that was free...like
the free oil underground...the free coal
and when you got control of that oil
field..make a deal and plug in a radar
or listening tower..missile launch site

people live in all the war zones
people work in the war zones
and the oil patch
paid well

your work is so much like the older
fifties sixties seventies work I read
from the bookstores
library....

will end it here
thank U for poem!

Thank you, sorry for replying so late been away for Christmas, Regards Roscoe....

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.
