You could argue that the United States has never been
A civilized nation,
The true history of this country
Is shot through with murder and theft,
Lies and busted promises.
The mask is off now.
In our name
children
Are caged,
Like animals,
Forced to sleep on concrete beds
With aluminum blankets for cover.
We don’t even supply them with toothbrushes,
Because cruelty is the point, the warning
Our debased government
Wants to send to the anguished
And desperate masses
Trying to flee the carnage and misery
That can be traced back
Through the years, the decades
back
To
Washington D.C.
