YOU AMUSE ME

You amuse me
With your thoughts
Your opinions
And beliefs

You amuse me
When you dress yourselves
In your hypocritical coats
When you tell the truth
And lie

You amuse me
When you believe In God
And don’t
When you’re strong
But not

You amuse me
When you try to help
And only help yourselves
Thinking you’re everything
You’re not

You amuse me
When you are mad
But sane
When you display tear-jerking scenes
And giggles inside

You amuse me
When you fight for animal rights
Wearing minks
When you batter gays
With your own forbidden fantasies in mind

You amuse me
When you beat me
In fright
When you call yourselves friends
Leaving knives in my back

You amuse me
When you’re listening
With deaf ears
When you say you understand
And don’t even care

You amuse me
When you kill the hostages
Claiming no choice
When you kill the children
And receives medals on your chests

You amuse me
When you battle your pointless wars
Screaming orders from behind the lines
When you are so brave
You force good men to fight your fights

You amuse me
When you say lets all unite
Flying your flags
When you believe in peace
Eagerly awaiting the next show from Israel

You amuse me
When you wonder why the killings won’t stop
Buying guns for your sons
When you say lets move on
Without looking back

You amuse me
When you rage against rapists
Abusing your kids
When you cry for equality of status
And ill-treat your wives

You amuse me
When you march the antiracism crusades
With kkk in your hearts
When you revolt against anti- Semitism
With the swastika in your eyes

You never cease to amuse me
You’ll amuse me to death
