The Jackals - Ten Foot Pole

We argued about policies and what is fair

We fought about fake news and what was true

Our kind regard descended into bitterness

A wedge between us two, dividing me and you

Can we just talk?

You cut me off, unfriended me

Cuz I’m in shock

Ten years of trust gone instantly

And if you think I’m the enemy

The damage has been done

And the jackals have won

Divide and conquer is their strategy

Brothers fighting brothers is the plan

Poisoning our words, distracting you and me

While stealing all they can

The money and the land

Trolling the proles

Sewing discontent in hearts and planting seeds of resentment and frustration

Probing our roles

Pressing differences so we don’t rise to smash architects of manipulation

Somehow we got turned around we got to bring the jackals down

Pull off the shackles and storm the castles and burn them to the ground

No compromises, too late for kindness

Let’s take the privile that they denied us

And build a world that’s fair and just and sound
