Poetic Notes Author’s Comment
Ok… the last night incident on 7/11/2008 sparked this creative release, it’s a bit dark from what i normally write but this was the only way for me to release this build up of energy about what has happen last night and how the police have impacted on my life as well as the global society. My grandmother taught me the pen is mightier than the sword, in our modern times the sword is not the weapon of choice it’s the gun, however my father taught me to carry a gun one must either be a police or a gunman. The insight in humanity due to aging taught me a police is a gunman just a legal gunman for the system of control… thus the concept of legal criminals was born. In understanding fire control sometime one need to use fire to put out fire, still i prefer the use of water/pen than fire/gun
SFP Please
The Gun or The Pen
Shoot the fucking police please these criminals need to cease
Put the silencer at they head and let them become a crease
A folding moment of time where they paid for all they crimes
SFP please cap these fuckers so they never again be release
It’s a plan stop and search on the land all for the rich one hands
Protect and sever who they protecting and whom they sever
It’s not the poor man it’s not the poor womb-man SFP Please
We don’t need the police Ancient Africa there was never a need
All around the world people are on bended knees because of these beasts
Working for the evil breeds in holland in england in every land these beasts
These criminals need to cease shoot the fucking police please, please
With a gun or a pen it’s your choice my friends with a gun or a pen
Their evil must end our global society can live as one friend when their evil is end
Building prisons and taxing we how we must live free with corruptions around we
Their illusion is a scheme they don’t represent we they are not living for our dream
I just want to scream SFP please its time we see the fleece the legal criminal the beast
As the new world order step further watch and see how many legal murder
It’s never too late for humans to start walking straight without police we were great
Those ancient times the elite use those rituals to bind our “mind” a lost in time
Now we walking a line a shift in “mind” where the ego of men is control by pride
The seeing blind, a brotherhood of lies using evil magic to close our eyes SFP please
Then there is a prize true humans living so wise without police brutality of any kind
Just watch the signs the implanted sigils of the unholy lime people please be wise
Like a little child never take your eyes off the prize to do so is to follow their lies
This criminal order in fact they have no power once people see the eleventh hour
Don’t wait for the bloody shower before your circumcise this poisonous flower
Its roots is long following the precession of the illicit fake humans the real demons
Drinking blood and sacrifice of the sheep people wake up from your slumber sleep
SFP please shoot the fucking police their criminality my cease we must stop the beast
With a gun or a pen this revolution is the solution for humanity to escape the pollution
