Calculus of Casualties

To the wistfully ignorant, give a shit for a minute
It’s a bitch bitten village, sickly rigged, sickly pillaged
Wealth a criminal, disparate, civil living convicted
Victims listed as villains… Villains sitting in privilege

Tackle it, grab and grip, grappling with tragedy
Saddled with a savage brick, static mass calamity
Saddened by the state i see, exacerbated hate and greed
Haggled fate and hapless dreams, have a bake sale irony

Half of that hypocrisy, crafted callous casually
Calculus with casualties, call an air strike carelessly
Coffins carried guaranteed, coughing blood and kerosene
Conscience caught on Arab spring. Call Aleppo: “human beings”

Let those people on our beach..Left in hellish leveled streets
Dealt the devil’s leisuring.. What the fuck we telling them?
Millions needing settlement… Live as if irrelevant
Relegated residents.. refugees NOT regiments
