Empty Words
Killing people
What gives you the right?
Tools
Of the regime.
Willing goons.
Vicious thugs.
Desensitised.
Bullets and pliers,
Electricity
And hate.
Killing for profit.
Killing for fun.
Killing to order.
Killing’s never done.
Massacre
And torture
Threats
And fear.
Every despot needs an army.
Without thugs
They are helpless,
Useless,
Pathetic.
Just empty words.
You, who serve,
With boot and gun;
Who legitimise
The tyrant
Against your own people,
Are the true traitorous scum.
You turn
Empty words
Into blood and death.

I watch the vicious crack-down on the people of Iran – the rape and torture. It’s the same the world over – from Pinochet in Chile to Botha in South Africa – The East German Stasi and Nazi – Khomeini just another tyrant! But all these tyrants have one thing in common – they employ thugs to do their dirty work! Without the torturing, massacring thugs they would have no power.
And what of these mindless goons who carry out the orders of these powerful men? What motivates them? Money? Power? Pleasure?
They put aside their morality and take up arms against the very people they are part of. Do they feel superior? Do they feel justified?
Have they merely been desensitised?
Fela Kuti called them Zombies!
They are worse than that! There are no words to describe the level these torturers and murderers have stooped to!
Scum!!
