Let me put this on the table- We’ve had the wound of the world put onto us- On that fateful day- Our immunity from the diseased world- Has now come become our affliction- The billions built into the Industrial Military Complex, flexing mechanical muscles- And hydraulic causes, it is our turn to blow up their twin pyramids- With just a little bit more reason- You might find under each unturned stone- A dollar bill- Greed’s grin from the occupier’s bosom- Fresh blood taken from a father at the dinner table- With all the children watching- Fast and easy consumption becomes our spiritual essence- Like A1 sauce over a New York steak- WATCH ANOTHER ACTION MOVIE! Or a T-Bird with the top off on a hot summer day- Like the F-16’s dropping U.S. made bombs- Into villages of innocent women and children- WATCH ANOTHER FOOTBALL GAME! Where hell hath no fury- Pouring volcanic reasoning in frustrated and poverty stricken lives- The molten lava surfaces- And a suicide bomber becomes- Pick up the remote, and change the fucking channel- A HOMERUN, A TOUCHDOWN! From the hot jungles of East Asia- To the Middle East toils in the 50’s, 60 and 70’s- To Cuba’s coupe de ta- Iran’s Coup- To billions that fueled the ugly civil wars in- Central America and South America- What degree does our foreign interests- Become more important then our democratic ideals- Then in time, it becomes our undoing- America, do you want peace or war- Are you with me or not- Sure you’ve decided on an axis of evil- But if there is an axis of good- Who’s on your side?- Click!- Sucking oil from seething veins- Raping 3rd world countries never was out of fashion- A colonial practice that became the standard business model- For the 20th century- Our minds are full of easy consumable consumerized hatred- Like a cosmic switch turned on, when we least expect- We give our defiant individualism- To Disney’s truths, or emboldened by Stallone –John Wayne’s tactics- Next to the burgers, we have the face of our enemies- Served and preserved, perverse and packaged- Easy as 1,2,3- As easy as sandniggers- I want to believe there is more- I’m wide awake- I’m wide-awake in America- I want to live the wisdom of our founding fathers- Is that still possible?-

And I still like to see Saddam and Osama dead...
