DALAMA…memoirs of the invisible war
Ethical disruption
justice interruption
Corruption.
Bagdad, Cambodia, London,
bribery, extortion, embezzlement,
nepotism, money laundering
& genocide.. How many have died?
Corruption..
From the Constitution to the
Industrial Revolution,
political executions, starvation
& forced labor became the daily flavor
for Cambodians under the
Khmer Rouge regime..
Damn near 2 Million civilians
were killed in cold blood..
The Killing Fields filled
Camodian Countrysides..
This goes down worldwide
from the Diamond mines
of Sierra Leone to Rio De Janeioro
& Sao Paulo..
Long Beach, Calfornia..
the whole country
pays the price for
the greedy..
Power lies in
the hands of few,
those who start wars
never fight them..
Abuse of authority creates tyrants
hellbent on daily violence,
POL POT, Bush, Bin Laden
Who do you believe in?
What do subscribe to?
Some live by the gun,
the apocalyptic hum
of a cold blooded drum..
Corruption..
Silence, violence
neighborhoods that
steal childhoods..
crossfires in the Killing fields
no shields in the ghetto
drive-bys are real
& snitches die..
Who's the real wiseguy?
Most turn a blind eye
just to survive..
Hate crimes from all sides..
Soldiers, sailors, assailants,
politicians, evangelists,
the LAPD doesn't talk about
Bloody Christmas,
don't expect a witness..
Even the chair of internal affairs
laced up his lair for extramarital affairs,
corruption is everywhere..
Restrictive housing covenants
afterhour night clubs
the casting couch
something in your mouth..
Keep your mouth closed,
ask no questions
& hear no lies,
nobody talks
about genocide,
broken boulevards,
shattered dreams,
spiritual warfare,
& chaos in the air,
freedom & fear are at war..
Corruption.
PraCh Ly's poetry turns
pain into medicine,
Overcoming persecution,
poverty, war & terrorism
climbing over execution
& corruption..
To tell the truth
can't erase the past,
but it can stop it from
happenning again..Corruption..
