oh great pretenders
\nyou act as though
\nthe things you do
\nyou do not know
\nwhen history shows
\nyour world was built
\non lands and wealth stolen
\nislands of gold
\nsurrounded by oceans
\nof blood and bones
\nfrom people slaughtered
\ncolonized enslaved
\nviolated young daughters
\ntreaties betrayed
\ntrickery deception
\nportraying false perceptions
\nbought off leaders
\nthrown to those whose
\nland wealth and labor you covet
\nwaving a tri-colored rag above it
\nso those trained as patriots
\nwill love it
\ngoing forth to mass murder
\ngiving their sons and daughters
\nas cannon fodder
\nyou swell with pride and vanity
\nat the wealth you horde
\nin a world awash in insanity
\npeople driven to kill their own
\nto kill the “other”
\nkill their own brother
\nto kill kill kill
\neven sex is violent
\nequating creating and destroying life
\nboth orgasmic
\neverything symbolized as slaughter
\neven a grade school test
\n“killed” by your daughter
\na reflection of the mind
\nof a madman’s world order
\ncapitalism’s greed and violence glorified
\neverything you’ve said good about
\nthis system
\nyou lied
\nwhat morality is birthed from
\nan empire built
\non exploitation
\nindoctrination
\non billions killed
\noh great pretender
\nthis is why you don’t want revealed
\nyour true history
\nyour economic methods
\nlearned
\nwhy you want critical books burned
\nso your victims
\nbrainwashed by your system
\nwon’t discover how you’ve tricked them
\nyou’re clever
\nbut your game can’t go on
\nforever
\nmy comrades will climb onto
\nher shoulder
\nyell into her ear
\nwords of revolution
\nawaken the one you most fear
\nrouse her from her slumber
\nno longer compliant
\nangry and defiant
\nthat working class giant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
