we don’t
lead, we
coerce.
we don’t
negotiate, we
enforce.
we don’t
persuade, we
buy.
if we
listen, we listen to
ourselves.
our patience is
short, our
tolerance is
frayed.
we’re the
victims; we can’t
imagine doing any
wrong.
we’re the
victims & our
gas is
cheap.
we’re the
victims & we
don’t care why.
children of the world
may starve; there may
be blood on sacred
ground––
but honor &
justice is our
way.
let there be no
compassion for the
infidels.
one nation
oblivious under
God––
we consume, we
torture & we
war.
