American Empire

 

American Empire

Eisenhower warned us once,

of the evil here at play,

of how they’d seize the nation,

of the good ole U.S.A.

None of you took heed of him,

of what he had to say,

now your nation’s bankrupt,

with poverty on display.

From Europe to Korea,

to Mosaddegh’s Iran,

from there you went to Cuba,

Africa, Viet Nam.

The C.I.A. killed Kennedy,

and with him your nation state,

Lyndon Johnson took the reigns,

and pushed the memes mandate.

Let’s not forget all his wars,

below your southern border,

sponsored coups, regimes all changed,

for their new world order.

Assassinations played a part,

to pave this new direction,

Nixon cancelled Breton Woods,

to seal the insurrection.

A war mongers printing press,

replaced the gold with dollars,

inflation, oil, all the noise,

still argued by the scholars.

Ronald ray guns stoked the fire,

declared a new arms race,

spending into overdrive,

with scourging wall street face.

N.E.D. was made and funded then,

let loose on oil nations,

recession came to our homes,

collapse acceleration.

Nineteen-ninety-one, the mark,

when the Iron curtain fell,

U.S. empire grew in size,

Bush bombed them all to hell.

It all started in Iraq,

Yugoslavia and more,

this US domination,

by a hell bound bank of war.

Clinton added sanctions too,

how many millions died,

Albright says, it was worth it,

and they boast of this with pride.

U.S. citizens had had enough,

they elected junior Bush,

the meme did nine eleven,

stoking panic with a push.

Behind the scenes trillions gone,

Rumsfeld can’t figure it out,

but print they did, at the fed,

for payoffs, butchers and clout.

P-NAC then, well on its way,

the wars of terror started,

tens of millions now are dead,

in days and ways uncharted.

Crashing bank derivatives,

their debts popped all balloons,

bailed out by elected reps,

a congress of meme baboons.

“I will end the war in Iraq”,

“You can take that to the Bank”,

wars increased then seven-fold,

Obama the one to thank.

While U.S. wars cover earth,

gun sales at home increase,

profits up for weapons corps,

no time to broker peace.

Debts increase by doubling,

your bases around the world,

eight hundred plus and counting,

in lockstep and unfurled.

The streets are broke, bankers rich,

homeless people everywhere,

news is silent on the debt,

do you think they really care?

Spending now in cruise control,

elections a rubber stamp,

Trump is gone, while war remains,

for Biden and the Tramp.

All the while you’ve lost your rights,

your locked down, masked and poor,

and the psychopaths get away,

while liberties are no more.
