Forced Unlawful Carnage

Military bullying only, a poem about our economic pillage would be ten times as long. Based on Killing Hope by William Blum.

In my lifetime we fucked Laos,
In my lifetime we fucked Cambodia,
In my lifetime we fucked Vietnam,
In my lifetime we fucked Uruguay,
In my lifetime we fucked Chile,
In my lifetime we fucked Greece,
In my lifetime we fucked Bolivia.
In my lifetime we fucked Guatemala,
In my lifetime we fucked Costa Rica,
In my lifetime we fucked Australia,
In my lifetime we fucked Angola,
In my lifetime we fucked Zaire,
In my lifetime we fucked Jamaica.
In my lifetime we fucked Seychelles,
In my lifetime we fucked Grenada,
In my lifetime we fucked Lebanon,
In my lifetime we fucked Syria,
In my lifetime we fucked Morocco,
In my lifetime we fucked Suriname,
In my lifetime we fucked Libya,
In my lifetime we fucked El Salvador,
In my lifetime we fucked Nicaragua.
In my lifetime we fucked Iran,

In my lifetime we fucked Bosnia,
In my lifetime we fucked Sudan,
In my lifetime we fucked Yugoslavia,
In my lifetime we fucked Afghanistan three times,
In my lifetime we fucked Iraq over and over and over and over and over,
and before the dismount even, we rolled over and shoved our cock up Haiti's ass again.

Who?s gonna pay for all this?

One life is bad enough,
and would demand immediate reparation from anyone with a shred of decency,
but entire nations?

And always the smallest?

Strike 45!

I see only a mounting blood toll,
so excuse me if I can't share your excitement over another bloody easter.
