Over 2000 Served...Up
On this day in 2005
2000 of our finest are no longer alive
Killed by lies
Killed by deceit
Killed by indifference
Killed by hubris
Murdered by the black heart of our leaders
Who sit only and plan
To make the world free for democracy and butchery
Forgetting, entirely
That one by one
Our young men and women die
Just for the plans that the old men have for the world
Not their world
But fight they must so told
We are the Americans
And we will save the world
I know
What all the old men know, in their blackness,
That nothing more can be done
Except to shovel the dirt on the graves of those who never had a chance.
The liars. The muderers.
