Dark Depressing Poetry (I guess) by Matthew J. Beard
I will not,
And cannot,
Pledge allegiance to the flag that stands
For blood,
More war,
We said
We come in peace
Yet we drop our bombs,
And rape your land like whores.
Brainwashed by corporations
Yielding money and power
To those that make
The common people cower.
I see only cowards creating a black knight
And then sending us to fight
Will this mania ever stop?
This war with no end
Now in the nation of red,
White,
and Blue.
Fill your shopping carts
With shit from shopping marts
By the drugs that pay for secret wars
Made by thugs around the world
Politicians sending the young men proudly off to war for years on end
Then they get on your screen and pretend that they're your friend
While these money grubbing exploiting pigs are bathing in the money
You fought for!
You fought for!
No blood for oil!
But then they said
What do you mean?
No blood for oil?
Don't you know,
That your friend at the White House
Owns an oil company that pumps petroleum
In Middle East Iraq?!!
Fossil fuel crisis,
Running our lives
And the rights of your wives are raped and plundered
As His voice thundered
Behind the dictator's desk
You try to keep in mind
To just let it ride
Because it's all for Democracy!
Right?!
No!
Don't let this Fascism go without consequence.
Revenge is what this really is
But there is no true
Comeuppance for what they deserve!
Sending our sons and daughters to a fight we didn't start.
Oppression and deception
Running our country
And spreading like a plague all around the world.
Why can't they just work for everything they get?
Instead they just steal from those who won't forget.
You fought for!
You fought for...
The money these greedy little swine
Are spending while they dine.
And I have nothing more to say to you!
