When the truth doesn't work

The situation is this -- the truth is not believed
better to just metaphor along

sending out seeds of dissent
with the trickiest tricks in the book of spies

a bit of truth and a sprinkle of lies
a mythical tale that sprouts from all sides

a creature that crawls through the crevices
unseen
relying on the slim defense of plausible denial

I offered forgiveness
to those who will not forgive
Now
I retch your names from my sacred soul
piss on them
kick them into the wind

I asked for peace
you tortured me until I was mad enough to ask for war

You want me to forgive your sins
Pretend you can win just because you declared it so...
Mandela was in prison longer and harder
King and Che died younger

I have started a revolution
fertilized with blood
grown silently in the shadows

they will tell you much about me
why wouldn't they

don't let them win

I am not here for fortune and fame
don't let them convince you of other

i work for the people
an army of one grown too large to control
