The Conspirators

"lets kill Him"-whispers in the night

"this nation needs him not
lets kill him before the dawn breaks
i want all to see him dead
we should hang him by the banyan tree
and make a parade of it
the future will spit at his grave
let them bury or burn him as they wish
but first, lets kill Him"

"that old man is a fool
non violence is a dreamers game
lets behead that outdated
philosopher of our times"

"lets burn him
I want to hear him scream"

"No! No! We shoot him I want his blood spilled"

"Why not stab?
Him be Caesar and we be his Brutus"

"We shoot him. It’s quick and wise.
But beware comrades
when the echo of our guns die
and the warmth of his blood fades
they will hunt for us"

"they will burn our children
and sell our wives."

"They will call us Muslim and traitors
our patriotism will be in vain"

"so much for non violence"

"traitors of today, martyrs of tomorrow
history a teacher, none can ignore.
we need to save our nation
lets not waste time
lets kill Him"

Traitors in the dark
they waited hiding for Him
The old man his walking stick
And single piece of cloth
Such a disgusting sight
Even the pope wouldn’t see him.
They came out of hiding
They all took aim
the first shot was fired
and he said hey ram
the second shot was fired
A 100 years later
The nation burnt his effigy
the third shot was fired
He died
The fourth man stabbed him
Just to be sure.
