Here and Now

from The Looma (part 2​/​5) by One Be Lo

lyrics

With military strength and multiplying membership numbers
the Mighty Conquistadors stumbled across the water and tundra with a voracious hunger that tore new cities asunder.

The first invasion of New Yak City metropolis
conquered the city’s confidence.
The crying howl accomplished a cockiness
that cautioned the common sense.

The Conquistadors came to conquer the flesh at night
when the majestic Moon was breathtakingly bright.
Surely a fright floating on freights ferrying for Yakistan shores,
the borders were breached
when the foreign fleet feet featured on Yakistan beach.

The raid on soil continued rolling until reaching full boil.
Their thirst for conquest slayed the humble.
Many people died in the raids and rumble
but just as many were captured and bundled as p-o-w's.

Fire Trapping is the Conquistador practice of burning homes and buildings containing civilians. Whoever survives is normally taken prisoner, including men, women and children.

The unwelcomed visitors spark their sinister plot and plenty blocks smell smoke. Without being provoked, the blitzing Conquistador heat stroke caught the soft and hard off guard. Pardoned when the arson is complete, are the people who die in their sleep or get trapped in the heat.

Patients and older faces move slow in the chase due to smoke inhalation, lungs failing with no room for patience. All those who make it out into the streets get swallowed in the general sweep. In the slave game, all ages, frames and genitals were considered a keep.
