A country unable to see its own disease
can not bring democracy nor peace,
rather spread its own illness
through
more schools for less education
homeless shelters to call home
history lessons without history
pens afraid to write of darkness.
Blood for oil
stains our,
streets
homes
hospitals
hollywood
music
nightclubs
shiny things
created poverty
truth
politicians
uniforms
guns
planes
bombs
democracy.
The maddows of this country will stop at nothing to justify self serving laws
spewing hatred
progandas as they try desperately to hold the tent of the circus together
lest we see
the diseases destroying this country
minds of the young
eyes unable to see
a flag stained with death.
