My America
Just as a bully clenching at the sight
of a smaller being trembling in fear,
our altruism - just veneer
under which our swagger appears.
Senseless brutality has ruled the past.
Needless crimes to prove one's right
to lead society from the plight
of darkness he bestows, into the light.
Guised with defense or benefaction
the murderous toll climbs up the vast
victorious cliff toward soldiers amassed
realizing their role has been miscast.
Oh America! When will you learn?
Your wars and butchery, no honor will earn.
