The Kemptown Verses

By JJ Leahy

The Last Ever War

Bellum omnium contra omnes

Burn down the Citadel, that’s’ what he said
But that was man on human flesh he feed,
Fallen through life – down its darkest well
Soli Deo Gloria, or fuck off back to hell.

Oh! Jerusalem; Do not turn thy back
It’s intend of purpose does mankind lack,
Do you expect of us – in bloody revolution
Was this self-indulgence, ever a solution?
Cast shadows of black and gallows built tall
Through faeces called ‘hope’ the human does crawl.

Give pleasure to deny, this prediction I saw
In truth laid bare, The Last Ever War.

I dream this dream each dark night
See hoards of the innocent, burn with fright;
The planet itself, penetrated and raped
With global euthanasia, cos no one escaped!
Malevolence is really, the kindness of the mad
So time to destroy, everything we had.

Guardians of civilization, who’s babies fried
For freedom of the populous – now crucified.
From the average sapien, lying in the street
They fucked the corpse, they tore the meat;
Playing scat politics, while drunk on piss
Imbecilic and gullible masses – remain oblivious.

Falling from heaven, like war shells of greed
To explode and smash – the people in need,
Gas the old and napalm the young
The slaughter of man has just begun.
Oh! Jerusalem, prudishly ignore my advances
To enter you, so what are the chances?
Civilization was never the real solution
Save war, starvation and pollution.

The End is close, The Seraphim thinking
Insignificant is the animal and still sinking,
No torment too great – for what its worth
Man has becometh, the scum of the earth.

Too happy the innocent, now to smother
Strangle both the offspring and the mother;
Yes, the revenge of man is at the door
Cos the bastard has started, The Last Ever War.
