Whole Bunch of Clues

I left you a whole bunch of fucking clues
They were festooned  between two blown out buildings
And they could have smacked you in the head
But you ducked and never saw them.

You missed them at the checkpoint too
I had spray painted my message for you
On the concrete barrier that kept you from me
And kept me from you
Didn't you see what I wrote?

And that wall
It was written clear as day
Bright as a reflection
From a pristine Swiss lake
Written on both sides
For each of you to see.

Everyday I go around leaving you clues
Leaving messages

Everyday I scatter your ashes
As a sign
As a warning

I mix your blood
With Middle Eastern Sand
In a mortar and pestle
Crushed and ground
Until it blends as one

Why are you all hating?
Why have you been blinded from
Morocco to Kashmir
Deep into the hills of Afghanistan
From Jericho to Tel Aviv?

I left clues

Smoke signals and smudge pots
You couldn't have missed them
You couldn't have mistaken these signs
It was clear as the most beautifully played
Chopin Etude
Even if you are tone deaf
Even if you've lost your souls at the checkout

I have left you clues and will now sit back

Kill if you want

Threaten and pillage each other and this planet

The writing's on the wall
Scrawled in the sand
Twisted in the smoke of each bomb you drop
Each suicide vest that explodes you into a million pieces
And all the Rorschach drops of blood spilled on the streets 

Clues...
