Short poem on the war (how original). Some language. Sounds better aloud.
take a look at america-
here is your white:
this is our battle
this is our fight

we'll lay our children on the altar of god
a sacrificial, artificial, prejudicial lamb roast.
the angel saved Issac, but who will stop you?
we are stronger, more important than the heavens, you boast.

idiotic patriotic bullshit rhetoric

take a look at america
here is your red:
i know what you meant
and i heard what you said

the days are shorter nights are longer
it's confusing, we're abusing; and losing your fight.
it's a page in a textbook, one more chapter on war:
we will kill who's wrong but we don't know what's right.

idealistic materialistic bullshit rhetoric

take a look at america
here is your blue
i would die for this country
but i won't die for you

this is my nation
my generation:
temptation
frustration
desparation
and your salvation
