"It is the leaders of a country who determine the policy. It is always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, a parliament or a communist dictatorship, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. . . All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."
--Herman Goering (founder of the German State Secret Police (Gestapo), once-president of the German Legislature (Reichstag), and convicted war criminal.)
where does this war begin
who pulled the pin
point bombing which makes truth a lie
so many people die
there's no return from genocide
no place for the poor to hide
so when justice comes let the poor decide
where this war began
blood of children warm red ran
in this slaughter called "american"
where did his soul break
who gave the order drew a line
in sand, tied all our lives to the stake
"collateral damage" is an accountable mistake
of missiles and mechanized screaming birds
against a living language of the oldest words
against the ancient mother of civilization
who loving people loves no nation

MARCH BLINDLY INTO THE FOG
Fabricated incarcerated indoctrinated and obliterated but we must not be watergated.
Using Falsified letters, lies with soldiers names to perpetrate fraud and myths ,
a conspicuously anonymous letter home says this
“Iraq is good, Iraq is bliss”
and yet just like Agent Orange;
Gulf War Syndrome persists.
An administration must manage to indoctrinate that a citizen speaking his or her mind kinda’ undermines democracy;
and so democracy becomes the joke that it is.
Reduce their natural resistance to killing their own species
Let them pretend they are not killing human beings
Teach them to kill
Teach them to like it
War is good business
Lies for this and lies for that
9/11; we need not investigate,
Americans are to be happy with this bog,
as their boys march blindly into the fog?

Inspired by the hawks of war.
