I roam around on crowded streets
On the prowl for those darker than me.
To his commands, I’m always true.
Be careful that I don’t come after you.

Cause I’m the ICEman
Yeah, I’m the ICEman
And my job’s to keep this grand old country free

I wear a mask to hide my face
I know that mine’s the master race
I won’t hesitate to take down your door
And on the next plane to El Salvador

Go on, roll the dice, man,
Cause I’m the ICEman
And it’s snake-eyes for you for all eternity

The vision of a new Gestapo
No Hugo Boss, but green camo
boy or a woman, girl or a man
You’re going in the back of a jet black van

Cause I’m the ICEman,
Yeah, I’m the ICEman
And there’s nothing I won’t do for liberty.

I’ll make up a warrant and a TRUMPed-up charge
C.L. will call you a terrorist-at-large.
I’ll say that you’re a criminal, leader of a gang.
Believe me, you’ll never forget my name.

You know I ain’t nice, man.
Cause I’m the ICEman.
And in Christ’s white nation, that’s where I want to be.

Just like Val Kilmer, I'm the Top Gun.
Ask that guy Kilmar, why they’re on the run?
Don’t ask for papers or to see my badge,
cause I’m the worst nightmare you’ve ever had.

Lock up your wife, man,
Cause I’m the ICEman,
Go on and try, he’s just gonna pardon me!

I’m stormin’ into court, and taking down
some libtard judges in silly gowns.
Don’t talk to me about amendments and “Due Process.”
Cause I know my mission is “Jesus-Blessed.”

I got a pipe, man,
Cause I’m the ICEman
I’ll chain you up and toss away the key.

Just don’t tell my kids the stuff I do
Or my wife would boil me in the stew.
I play like I’m big, but I’m so small.
Like a fly you’d smash up on the wall.

Cause I’m the ICEman,
Yeah, I’m the ICEman.
And I hope that my fear, you will never see.

Wish I’d never been inspired to write this, but since it has, I had no choice but to put it out there. Hope it lets you vent a bit of your anger over the injustice occurring right now to our friends and neighbors. Please leave a comment, maybe with a message of love - because we NEED it.

Wait! Before you go - a quick message.

Nothing has been as powerful a source of transformation in my life as A Course in Miracles.

Nothing has brought me more peace, greater understanding, or deeper joy than following its guidance.

Inspired by its words, I have created a series of poems and lessons of my own to go along with the lessons in the course.

You can find everything I’ve published so far on this page:

I hope that they will inspire you to pick it up for the first time, or to pick it up again and make the real commitment to it that you have been unwilling to do up until now.

And, if you are a devotee of the course, to bring you to finding new insights and opening up yourself even further to its unfailing message:

LOVE is all there is.

Namaste 🙏 ❤️
