An American War (rewrite)


Say it’s for freedom

Do anything to help, 

alter and abolish

Displacing people

Fighting for their lives

 

Your rules -

an unwarrantable jurisdiction

give them no choice

Just guns and bombs

 

Taking away their

unalienable Rights, 

that among these are life

 

When the fun is over: Retreat 

to your world

Of technicolor TVs 

And watch their world burn

all over

 

Again.
