the bureaucracy of death
(for reginald blanton, executed by lethal injection 10/27/09)
you wanna talk twisted?
here's a twist on all the twisted shit i ever thought a twist
ok twist ya mind, scrunch your mug and imagine this shit
we got this guy sittin in the moonlight
ground under, under ground and over standing not denying his plight
but just imagine
they ground a chemical concoction directly into his vein
then filled it with pain
to kill em dead they say its start to finish eight minutes
eight minutes a process
for a lifetime of dread
it goes straight to ye head
and then bang! ya dead
and that's the end.
no more habeas corpus,
no more lawyers to sort this
evidence
provin your innocence
while the maniacal malevolence
of some bemused judge
keeping watch over minions
as if watching a sitcom in his suburb
and your life is nothing more for him
than a commercial break
and still they killed you
killed you reggie killed you with impunity bureaucracy democracy
stuck a needle in your arm
goddamnit man! do you even hear what I'm saying?
take a breath
ignite a match
and shout away this madness:
THEY KILL WITH THE BUREAUCRACY OF DEATH
