The Many Lives I’ve Lived

I live in an era of heightened security
where people still have to fight for human rights fervently
for anyone to have heard them speak.
There’s a disease within the government, their hearing is lessened,
an ear infection steering them clear from the people they’re not hearing, stressing.
We live in terms of tears yet we cheer elections.
We hope for change yet after the campaign year has left us
we’ve gained nothing but fear and lessons
we don’t put to use because we fear we’re threatened.
They use terrorism to keep their errors hidden
and we’re die hard Americans, our pride is forever with them.
I’m tired of being part of an alien nation,
finding the land with the resources to stage an invasion,
finding new ways to persuade them.
Tell them under their government ways their rights have been taken.
Act like we’re shedding their chains, when
all we’re doing is taking their pictures to frame them,
to show the world lies as to why we came and
labeled them as terrorists so we don’t have to try them the same.
Men crying in pain
from interrogations with agents prying their brain.
I’m trying to gain some knowledge to our lies that remain,
but our truth is, it’s those lies that sustain this country’s pride and its name.
I live in America where our government is the world’s most powerful weapon of mass destruction.
We see families losing children and loved ones,
all for oil and gas combustion..
while we’re complaining our children are dying in a country we raided,
where the death tolls were extremely understated.
Sending our troops across burnt bridges so there’s no turning back for the ones that made it.
A soldier is ill fated.
Whether he’s there to kill or be killed, face it,
the government’s got over a million replacements.
They’re not trying for peace with anyone by putting a gun in their faces.
If peace is what they wanted, they’d have spent less money on bombs and
more on trying to restore honor.
Those who don’t live under God, face karma,
and a country who sins today.. tomorrow is a goner.
