Set Your Flag On Fire, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)
Hey now, it’s the guy in the sky
Voices in your head, blindly try
Set the flag on fire, let it fry
Jesus is king, all drenched in red
I’ll bet you your land he’ll kill you dead
Your God boy and their God boy
Will shoot the other in the head
Hey now, it’s Allah in the sky
Voices in your head, blindly try
Will set the flag on fire, let it fry
Mohammed is Prophet, all drenched in red
I’ll bet you your land, he’ll kill you dead
Your God boy and their God boy
Will shoot the other in the head
Hey now, it’s Hebrew in the sky
Voices in your head, blindly try
Set the flag on fire, let it fry
Yahweh is God, all drenched in red
I’ll bet you your land, he’ll kill you dead
Your God boy and their God boy
Will shoot the other in the head
Cuneiform, Sanskrit, Hammurabi code
Hieroglyphics, Mayans, Buddha didn’t know
Ancient ignorance is the arrow’s deadly bow
Hey now, hey now, burning in a pyre
All because of delusional superstitious desire
You’ll selfishly set planet earth on fire.
Nothing as we were before
Noting in the future we’ll be
What truly matters is of now
Not that of our violent fantasies
Dominance is a fleeting goal
It kills the flesh, no peace to show
Lust for power, blood will flow
The universe will take it’s toll
All the gods will be dead, none of us will know
Now is what really matters, not that of long ago.
