Remission

I am the one

I have a thousand veins

I am the architect of viral pain

I planted seeds of population reduction

Race-related AIDS infection

I am the soldier dead a thousand times

In the paddy fields lay my unspent mines

Waiting for a child playing in the fields

War goes on even during peace

I am the death of a thousand races

You worship me in your history classes

I am the smiling man in your tube

Taking your vote

and your contributions

too

Everything in life is interconnected

Every bum that dies leaves us more infected

When so many die from being infliced

Pain is easy to find

it can be… injected

It is proclaimed we must die for what's right

To preserve the status quo

so we can sleep at night

Kids will always think of some dreams

So that desperate may die with loyal screams

The planets slowly move

they are recalcitrant

The planets spin in circles under my command

We will kill ourselves by our own admission

I am incurable

I am you

in remission
