Lets use anachronisms
as a device
to draw a direct line
between our racist past
and now
For example
a digital smartwatch
worn by segregationist governor george wallace
illuminating similarities
between our un-reckoned with past
and current transgressions
Lets use anachronisms
Another example
a president of the united states
saying, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts"
a racist phrase lifted from miami 1967
Lets use anachronisms
to help draw the lines
Another fascist creep
Another collection
of bad policy
dangerous pathways
connecting too soon
ICE is a terrorist
organization
borders are meaningless
borders are meaningless
Tear down every wall
Tear down every cage
Destroy every border
Destroy every border
Here comes the edict
down from the top
and here are the yes men
poised to receive
Undertones racist
inhumane
and we all know it
we are to blame
Murdering children
in his name
bureaucratic
justification
administrators
circumvent
ethical treatment
of human beings

It's refreshing to have punk music in the 21st century. Plus the energy of a couple of bros wanting to make loud music and yell in a microphone in a garage, makes this an enjoyable ride. Jarne Van Vooren
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
