Bluelighter
leaving our minds in the alley
strangling every strand of emotion
heart filled tears
with lack of reasoning
just listening with deaf ears
for the stance parched on partriotism
mr bush thirsty for more
waving flags to commend a government
who is it that we are mourning
who is it that caused this mess
today a year ago
so many were so quick to point their fingers
wanting revenge
sticking flags in every car window, home and those big corporations competed for the biggest and brightest
showing off sympathy to gain buisness
cradling a war in every flags arms
blood red and cold blues
stars to show we aim to cover the whole world with greedy fascist rule
and all the while we sit and pray
forgeting god allowed this day
knowing full well each and every life
and sadly yes, 9/11 was their chosen day to die
yet sickly so a government supported act of terrorism
to many breeched alarms
troops ready before the first plane hit
all this and a country not yet in support
to just kill , without cause, so it needed a reason
REVENGE
they all yelled , and the few were stamped out as traders , and freaks
leaving a country to stand and saulute
God Bless America
horray for the troops
go get them !!! kill them all!!
the message rang loud , and deaf
as we never thought......
never took a moment to wonder.
WHAT IF??
It would have been some irate U.S. citizen who committed terrorist acts,,,in some powerful nation, and we were the INNOCENT were about to pay the price , for a radical group , we didnt ourselves like?????
how much weve already been blessed
in ignorance of each gift, forgotten in the midst of every mall, and highway built over yesteryear
in attempt to succeed
and in all our knowledge
weve ignored the truth
the reality of all the lies
all the shit you'll never hear on the news... until its way to late, and no one cares
so listen up the next time a thousand fall
look around , open up YOUR eyes, not the eyes of someone behind the tv screen
its not for america
thats the irony of it all
greedy bastards, let the towers fall
