Corporate Crusaders
Their shameless charade
What are a few lives
When fortunes are made

Murdering millions
To build bottom lines
Make tidy profits
On rifles and mines

Backing the butchers
With chemical cakes
Medical murders
That viruses take

Manipulate masses
Through horror and fear
Chip away freedom
While forefathers tear

Sing to the public
A patriot’s song
Enlisting their children
To cover their wrong

Sending in soldiers
Our blood in the sand
All for the need
Of future demand

Trade red gold for black
And Tomahawks flown
To place a new prince
On hypocrisy’s throne

sad to say there is truth in your words.  this is well written with a powerful message.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

An angry poem to say the least... but incredibly potent and well written

Yes it is sad Susan,
Thing is these multinational corporations have no loyalty to any one country. Something most peepz don't think about.

Thank you Flake,
Question is did you bring something back with you from hell? J/K.

Thank you Angel,
Poetry is the only ammo I have @ the moment.
Though come November I'll be using my single shot. Let's just hope it's not a dud.

Thank you iliana,
No I've not seen F9/11, it is not showing here. I did my own research on the subject after dubya kept obstructing any investigation. Sent red flags a flying so I started looking into it.

I don't know what to say passing,
Peace to you,
Hugs

Thank you Sherry,
I only pray peepz start asking the hard questions.

(big angel hugs) And even more depressing is the fact so many of these conglomerate heads also have positions in our government! (sad sigh) Halliburton, Bechtel, CACI, you name it, it's a deadly web out there! (sad sigh) Bless those 1.6 million women by the way joined against Wal-Mart, we need as many as possible to protect small businesses and their rights, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
