Wrongs and Rights

What kind of state are you in?
Look to Paine to rewrite your bill of wrongs.
You seek to be mighty.
You seek to be righteous.
You jargonise and plagiarise all.
Seek to destroy the ungodly!
Seek and destroy the corrupted!
Seek and obliterate the women and children
With your self given right to destroy.
Warplanes and bombs will never free anyone!
You waste so much money on weapons to destroy the earth.
When not enough monies are spent on feeding the earth.

You speak of The Land Of The Free.
Free to murder! Free to rape! Free to violate!
You speak of your Bill Of Rights.
The right to discrimination? The right to victimisation?
The right to be hungry and poor?
The ghettos just get bigger.
The poor just get poorer.
The state grows ever stronger.

While white, middle, golf cart driving, America
Gets obese on milk and honey.
The rest of the world rots and starves.
You give us Coca-Cola.
Sugar and chemicals to die for.
You give us hamburgers
And decimate forests to produce them.
You give us troops to protect us
When we perceive no threat!
America, Land Of Dreams!
How far you have fallen!
