Time To Burn
Kevin Devine

It’s a brush fire spreading feeding as it movesnAnd it’s a disappeared glacier it’s an airborne flunIt’s your disbelieving eyes locked in concrete miles nIt’s your yawning conscious and your lawyers smilenIt’s an occupied country foaming at the mouthnIt’s no smoking gun, no mushroom cloudnIt’s a military mother with a buoyant hellnAnd it’s a flag tricked casket in an oil wellnIt’s an Argentina school girl gagged and boundnIt’s a torture camp and it’s a long way downnIt’s the constant brace and shock of nownnIt’s the whole damn world turned inside out, alrightnnIt’s a march to extinction with your god in stepnIt’s his name in your mouth; it’s his cross on your necknIt’s a farm boy sprinting over desert dirtnHe’s panting my father and discado spirts (?)nIn his automatic rifle and it tells no liesnThat’s truth in your stomach, it’s no alibi nBut the trouble lies on the other sidennWith an equal truth brethren for his holy nightnWith his crescent and the star and the virgin skynAnd here’s the calm milk and honey from the after lifenAnd as he eases to the check point he is calm and surenIt’s collateral damage it’s the cost of warnIt’s another bag of bones for the gods to sortnIt’s just another bag of bones for the gods to sortnnIt’s the species disappearing, all the birds fly southnIn a January heat wave and the pulsing crowdnIt’s an African militia kids with sub machinesnIt’s a conflict diamond on your bride to benIt’s the mission of identity go get what’s yoursnTill there’s nothing leftover to get no morenAnd it’s not what were owed but it’s what we’ve earnednAnd it’s closer then we realized and its time now to burnnnIt’s time now to burnnOh, it’s time now to burnn
