If you
are born in the USA
you learn from an early age
through TV and movies
cartoons and video games
in church and in school
the way to deal
with those you’re taught to hate
the commies and the fags
the indians and the niggers
the spics and the jews
to name a few
is to put them down
six feet under
preferably with a gun
our cowboy heroes did it
on the silver screen
our good cop/bad cop
partners did it
and got a laugh
teenagers sit in basements
and shoot each other
with no consequence
across the ethernet
no remorse
that’s how you win
and win we must
shock and awe
for oil and profit
we cheer
because they
the other
are the bad guys
so bad
they’re not really human
and missiles fly
from ships and drones
bombs drop from the sky
sterile from a distance
