Corporate CrusadersTheir shameless charadeWhat are a few livesWhen fortunes are made Murdering millionsTo bulge bottom linesMake tidy profitsOn rifles and mines Backing the butchersWith chemical cakesMedical murdersThat viruses take Manipulate massesThrough horror and fearChip away freedomWhile forefathers tear Sing to the publicA patriot’s songEnlisting our childrenTo cover their wrong Sending in soldiersStaining the sandAll for the greedOf future demand Trade red gold for blackAnd Tomahawks flownTo place a new princeOn hypocrisy’s throne mr_alleycat
This is absolutely superb. What a well written condemnation of everything that's wrong with the way the corporations view the world and us. I really love the part about trading red gold for black. A stroke of genius. Mr Alleycat, this is another feather in your cap. Your ever-expanding body of work on here is always a pleasure to read. Well done. Peace, A.
I've been on a rant since 2003, still unpopular it seems, but more are listening. Too bad it took one national disaster, to expose another. There is hope, though unless people get involved, and those that do, refuse to vote using machines that have no paper trail, that hope may evaporate. Thank you both for responding. I'm sorry I haven't been around much, it's our busy season Thank you for understanding
Ahhh classic political poetry. Only thing I will knit pick about is the lack of stanzas and line breakage but honestly, that doesn't really matter. It reads beautifully.
