Begin the war and we will fall together

Let war happen of it’s
own accord
Let virgins deliberate virtue
inaction
while the fortunate
choke on contempt for
sharing fate with us
the underprivileged
the ugly
Let the trees melt down
past stumps
rocks crumble back into
the earth from which they rose
Let the sky explode as
it's pulled
into the vacuum
star stuff again
Let the war happen
And I will follow you
into the breach
Where we'll lay
classless
for the finale
as it was meant to be
