Borrowed Characters
Hey Fascist
Why not let go
Of all those
Borrowed characters
Yes those which openly
Symbolize hate
Each one corrupted
Before you were born
And filed in dark cupboards
Hey terrorist
Why not get a life
Instead of taking
Lives like that
Yes we are human beings too
You know
Regardless of what
Your teacher preaches
In dark cellars
Hey brother
Why not let go
Of all that hate
And pent up anger
What purpose does it serve?
Except to feed upon it
And fester like some hungry tumour
In dark corners
Hey stranger
Why not get to know us
Stop pointing fingers
Through ignorance and fear
Take a deep breath and a moment
Before you hurl that rock
In our direction
Hey Judas
Why not get out of here
While you are still able to
Go some place and hide
You are pathetic
Just like so many others
Who once queued here?
Before being spawned
In some dark fantasy
Hey neighbour
Why not take a rain check
And release all those
Borrowed characters
You once seduced and kept
Subdued with hatred then
Removed discreetly from some
Dark old empty tomb
Hey God
Why not save us
There must be something
Worth salvaging down here
Just nod if you can hear me
It must be time
For another head count
Why not make this
Dark shadow disappear
