“Dishonesty from
politicians is nothing new for Americans. The real question is whether we are
lying to ourselves when we call this country the land of the free.”
Jonathan Turley, The Washington
Post, January 13, 2012.
In the land of the free is war
their god?
Are the mad men of militarism
happy and awed?
They dropped “The Mother of
All Bombs” called “MO-AB”
Are they thrilled, ecstatic,
and fiendishly glad?
The leader and his allies all
dressed in nice attire
Are bombing and killing, and
setting the world on fire
Are they blood-soaked
monsters claiming to be “civilized”?
Millions are homeless and
millions have already died
Hellfire missiles rain down
from the skies
And many helpless people are
trying to survive
Countries are destroyed and
reduced to rubble
Can they “thank” the land of
the free for all their trouble
Is the land of the free ruled by another posturing fake?
Bombings are “beautiful”
while eating chocolate cake
Is he a hypocrite who fooled
those that believed his mutterings?
Now they are witnesses to his
warmongering slaughterings
The blood-soaked earth of the
Middle East
Is now a graveyard where gory
wars never cease
Hell upon earth has visited
and destroyed a number of countries
“Courtesy” of the land of the
free, its allies and their illegal effronteries
Creators of terrorists and
trainers of them too
This is what the land of the
free and its allies do
Are they evil incarnate and
monsters of mayhem?
Determined to make their own
lands “great again”
Bringing death, destruction,
misery, and famine as well
Is this the deadly products
of this evil crew, from hell?
With their weapons of
enormous and bloody destruction
They make countries unliveable
and unable to function
How will it end, or will it
go on without end?
This feasting on blood that
these demons depend
Will these diabolical devils
ever be arraigned and indicted
And will we ever see the land
of the free tried and convicted?
“It has become
embarrassing to be an American. Our country has had four war criminal
presidents in succession. Clinton twice launched military attacks on Serbia,
ordering NATO to bomb the former Yugoslavia twice, both in 1995 and in 1999, so
that gives Bill two war crimes. George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq
and attacked provinces of Pakistan
and Yemen
from the air. That comes to four war crimes for Bush. Obama used NATO to
destroy Libya and sent
mercenaries to destroy Syria,
thereby commiting two war crimes. Trump attacked Syria with US forces, thereby
becoming a war criminal early in his regime.”
