Ungilded Propaganda

Another of my political poems...

 

Un-gilded Propaganda

By Matt Artis

BE ALL YOU CAN BE, IN THE ARMY

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID ON THE TV

ONLY 18 YEARS OLD

SO MUCH LIFE LEFT TO BEHOLD

ENLISTED IN INNOCENCE

JUST TO BE RIPPED FROM EXISTENCE

HIS MOTHERS SHOULDERS SAG

WHEN HANDED THE FOLDED FLAG

STITCHED CLOTH AND A PREMATURE GRAVE

UNCLE SAMS WAY OF THANKING FOR ALL THAT HE GAVE

A GOVERNMENT OF POLYGAMIST POLITICIANS

MARRIED TO NUMEROUS CORPORATIONS

WAGING WAR FOR PERSONAL GAIN

IGNORANT OF THE LIVES LOST IN VAIN

COVERING UP PLANS OF GENOCIDE

WITH A BOMBER COMITTING SUICIDE

AMERICA THE NEW ARIAN NATION

BROADCASTING FEAR ON EVERY STATION

FORCING OTHERS TO BLEED

JUST TO FEED THEIR GREED

MUSLIMS REPLACE THE JEWS

AS THE TARGET OF FASCIST NEWS

MORE TROOPS SENT TO IRAN

IN HOPES OF SILENCING THE KORAN

USING IMPRISONMENT AND DEATH ALIKE

JUST LIKE THE THIRD REICH
