They Burnt Him With Gasoline

They burnt him, with gasoline,
to make sure he died.
Now that he is dead,
there is no debate?no other side.

They burnt him, with gasoline,
to clean their finger prints.
He is painless, he is deathless
he is mixed in the soil only to rise.

They burnt him, with gasoline,
to hide their shame and dirty curls.
So far they have made a window display,
of living coffins of clay and gas.

They burnt him, with gasoline,
yet his death is more alive than their lives.
They burnt him,
in their merchandising store of lies.

They burnt him, with gasoline,
as they feared he would would erupt like a volcano
if buried alive.
