Sheer Oblivion

This was written on July 14, 2006, soon after Israel began attacking Lebanon. This goes out to all the people here in Canada who supported that abomination- you inspired this. There are worse atrocities that have happened and are happening than what Israel just did to the people of Lebanon (not to Hezbollah, which emerged stregnthened), but it is unusual to see people here who really ought to know better actually actively supporting atrocities.

It's me or it’s you,
so what I’ll have to do
is utterly destroy you,
in several easy steps leading down into the inferno,
the hellfire you’ll cross to reach your promised land
-sheer oblivion-

You cannot win against my power,
yet you continue to defy my will,
How many of you must I kill before you learn?
How many of your cities must I burn- raze to the ground?
No peace is found except in the ground, in your promised land
- sheer oblivion-

How dare these people glare at me, looking scandalized?
I don't like the look of the look in their eyes.
Have they got something against my people?
It’s us or them, so you must hate one or the other.
They are the other, the fanatics who’d destroy us all if they had the chance,
just give them the right circumstances and they will destroy us and all you hold dear,
The choice is clear:
We shall grind them down into
-sheer oblivion-

Yes, David has become Goliath- but is more insecure than ever.
He'll never be totally sure that he's safe,
so just in case- time to lay the surrounding lands to waste.
More people dispatched to
-sheer oblivion-

Weigh those lives in the balance, between people from the two peoples.
A dozen of them for one of ours seems about right, for we have the might on our side.
Put logic and morality in the balance against might and logic and morality will fail,
for superior might must necessarily prevail.

And in the event
that logic and morality get too defiant,
they too will be ground down,
into the ground,
dragged down,
down the steps to and through
the hellfire, into
-sheer oblivion-
