Desastrophies of War
Lyrics by Spatilomantis 2003-4

Converts to an instant faith
submit to a colonial wraith;
Whores of alien technology;
coercion dispels ideology.
You had to abandon beliefs,
unable to withstand the grief;
Your ancient gods are still there
but your children forgot where!

Your lands were taken and tamed;
resettled, reshaped, and renamed;
Adopting laws and traditions;
believing in new superstitions.
Women on grass beds laid;
Men mastered under the blade.
Infusion of weakness and scorn;
under bright flags babies born…

The reeking dust
hovers over the fields,
contorting to the whims
of the breeze.
Its deftness betrays not
the tale it wields,
that would sicken
the hardest heart with ease.
It is all that remains
of a spent progeny,
once youthful and strong,
and iron of will.
It stands as a monument
to the sinful tragedy
that still resounds
through the valleys and hills.

The primordial forces
that created sapiens
have exercised
their rights of démontage!
The hands that cupped our races
are by nature alien,
and our doom, try as they might,
could not assuage!
Conspicuous motives
that fueled a stalemate
were behind glossy words
and closed doors.
Betrayals were vindictive
in the interest of the state,
whose virtues were slurred
by desastrophies of war!
