Rumble in Rhodesia<\/b><\/p>\n
The third war has come Oil was all that mattered I have a gun I could end it all The lion advances I was caught Look at the map of the world It is just one long evening I put the lion down No matter how hard I pray So I am sending out my thoughts Rumble in Rhodesia The third war has come \u2026. and stayed Oil was all that mattered Oil is all that matters They will kill you just because you have a car Then kill you a second time for the oil … Continue reading

\nOil is all that matters
\n<\/span>They will kill you just because you have a car
\n<\/span>Then kill you a second time for the oil in your car<\/span><\/p>\n
\nEvery other bullet is a blank
\n<\/span>The lion facing me is not all lion
\n<\/span>Neither am I all man
\n<\/span>We both are part flesh, part machine
\nMy watch tells me I am 70
\n<\/span>My body is only 40
\n<\/span>The lion has armour
\n<\/span>The man has armour<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIf I popped one in the mouth
\n<\/span>But a coward I am not
\n<\/span>Cowardly – yes, from time to time
\n<\/span>Reminds me of what the girl said so long ago
\n<\/span>I have spent a life time and a half making it untrue
\n<\/span>I wonder where she is<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIt radiates neither hate nor love
\n<\/span>It was engineered for one goal:
\nIts purpose<\/span><\/p>\n
\nStealing food for one of my kin
\nNo kin in the flesh
\n<\/span>But kin because we roam the wastelands together
\nTogether by chance and challenges
\n<\/span>She has a baby
\n<\/span>Not mine
\n<\/span>But a baby is a baby is helpless<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIf you can find one
\n<\/span>Back to the conference in 1845 with a smattering of 1914
\n<\/span>Old alliances, new allies
\n<\/span>All enemies, no friends<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAm I alive or is this a memory chip in some computing grid
\nThe claws felt real enough
\nThe pain went from my back up my spine to my brain
\n\u2026 and back<\/p>\n
\nBut no joy in victory
\nThe third war is still on
\nHell has come to stay
\nWe did not go down
\n<\/span>Hades came up<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI know I still have to pay<\/p>\n
\nIf you receive them
\nI hope you will answer
\nLook for me in the never-ending dusk
\nA mist; a wisp; a whisper; a memory; a Shade
\nA man
\nA machine
\nA thought
