Human Shields | Song A Day #5466

Details

Description

I really, really, really, really can't stand the phrase "human shield".

You can find this and all Song A Day songs over at:

Collecting Kneecaps as trophies
Terror diagnosis
Blockade to choke these
Animals
It’s your fault, you force us
Nameless, amorphous
In schools and in churches
Hospitals

Shields, Human Shields

Clever dumb bombing
From our higher calling
Remember Amalek
We do
We laugh celebrate it
Desecrate your grave it’s
A death dedicated
To you

You had a name
And a sense of humor
You had a favorite color
All of this was real
Til the bomb came
Burned you to pieces
And the people who dropped it
Said, “what poor human shield”

Condos on the seaside
Protected by apartheid
It’s the quiet part right
Out loud
Drop these refugees
In other Arab countries
Entire families
Wiped out

Sir, there’s a active shooter, he’s using the entire mall cafeteria full of children as human shields, what should we do?
Bomb them all!
What?
You heard me, bomb them all!!
