behind the tears
a modern reichstag lies
sacrifice liberty for security
DON'T ask questions, just play the game
you're creating waves
and it's unpatriotic
didn't you know...
are you friend or foe?

It is time to decide

United...
as citizens you stand
as pawns you fall
as the crutches of tyranny
catch all

Idly...
let fear control
let business stand tall
let the new world order
embrace all

WE ARE the wars
WE make the decisions
WE finance the devil
WE create the divisions

but we need more power
more tools, more provisions
don't you watch the news
it's for your own freedom

while masses lay dormant
approval ratings fly
we'll still be here next year
...if enough of you die



and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...

I LOVED it! (& I'm not normally a fan of political verse but this was spot on!)

thank you very much for your replies, i know political verse doesn't usually fly well in here, but this is what i am about. Most of my poetry lately has political insinuations, look forward to more.

and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...
