America is losing
We believe now that it is ok to deny someone their rights
because they do something that harms us
We, America, have no problem giving the military the right to keep persons
in prisions without trials
We, America
preach freedom to the world
but do not afford the enemy the introduction to the rights of the free
We, America
think our nation is better than any and every other
but we errode the beauty of the nation
by living the double standard
We, America
are forgetting the beauty of freedom
We, America
are so afraid
we are not thinking
We are cheating ourselves of the honesty and integrity of the system
Because we are not following the letter of the law
in regards to terrorists, we are shrinking
becoming as small as the enemy
Our high ideals are no more
Interrogation takes the place of torture
It is so important for us to know what the enemy is doing
WE ARE BECOMING THE ENEMY
ask John McCain
the man in America most noted for surviving the cruelty of the enemy
When you take away the humanity
we become animals
and are governed by animals
who think nothing of being cruel
in the name of America
We are being governed by those
who believe killing the enemy is far more beneficial
the having the enemy brought before a trial of his peers
Peers in this sense is a person who thinks
whether or not he thinks like the enemy
whether or not he has lived with the enemy
We have become "THE LORD OF THE FLIES"
BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID
We, America
are afraid to test our laws on the enemy
we are afraid the enemy will win
THE ENEMY HAS ALREADY WON
WE HAVE GIVEN UP THE RULE OF LAW OF THE LAND
WE ARE ALLOWING THE JUSTIFICATION OF FEAR
TO RULE THE LAND
RIGHTS ARE
WHAT WE ALL WANT
RIGHTS ARE
WHAT WE AMERICANS ARE SO PROUD OF
RIGHTS ARE
WHAT GIVES A FREE NATION
HARMONY
WITHOUT RIGHTS
WE ARE DOOMED TO THE DUNGEONS
OF THE PAST
WE ARE CLIMBING BACK INTO THE DARK AGES
THE TIME OF IGNORANCE AND WANT
WE ARE DEPRESSING FREEDOM
WE ARE REMOVING RIGHTS
ONE AT A TIME
SO IT APPEARS PAINLESS TO THE POPULATION
KILL THE ENEMY
MILITARY RULES
WE ARE PREPARING FOR WAR
WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE TIME OF DESTRUCTION
WE ARE PREPARING FOR A LONG AND DIFFICULT
DEPRESSION
WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER
IT IS OUR TURN
NATION UPON NATION HAS RECOILED
SWORDS ARE DRAWN
THE ILLUSION OF DIPLOMACY IS
SWAYING AMERICANS INTO BELIVING
BEING POOR
HAVING NOTHING
WANTING NOTHING
DOING NOTHING
IS ALL OK
AS LONG AS WE KILL THE ENEMY
BAD HABITS
DISREGARD
SLOPPY
If we, America, choose to deny any human being
the rights we so strongly fight for
we are hypocrites
If we, America, choose to call someone an enemy
and deny them the full measure of our democracy
we are cheating ourselves
because
we thus, do not see, our legal system at work
we do not get to see the American Constitution at work
How can we, Americans
believe so strongly in our Constitution
fail to test it in the court of the world
Why do we not show the world our laws at work
We, America, say, we want other nations to
become democratic
Yet, we hide our democracy behind the cloak of
fear
FOOLS, we Americans, we cower in the face of the enemy
We cheat ourselves
We short change the fathers of our democracy
We fail the test of being true Americans
WE FAIL
being humans
we succeed in being animals
reacting instead of thinking,
reasoning and breathing our laws
WE, Americans,
are sliding down the slippery slope
into the chasm
of gray
the dingy world
of the dead
the chained, whipped, beaten, starved, scarred, and scared
we are cloaked in the life of the dead
we are sheltered in the world of deceit and distrust
we are covered cruelty
and this we say
is to keep us safe
Safe from the enemy we have become
GOD BLESS AMERICA
so We, Americans, can violate everything she stands for,
motherhood and apple pie,
here's mud in your eye
if you still have one.
America is losing
