Could it all be a bad dream, or a nightmare?
Is it my imagination, or have we lost our minds?
It's surreal;
it's just not believable,

A grand absurdity;
a great deception,
a delusion of momentous proportions;
based on preposterous notions;


and on ideas whose time should never have come;


simplicity grossly distorted and complicated;
insanity passed off as logic;
grandiose schemes built on falsehoods
with the morality of Ponzi and Madoff;

evil described as virtue;
ignorance pawned off as wisdom;
destruction and impoverishment
in the name of humanitarianism;

violence, the tool of change;
preventive wars used as the road to peace;
tolerance delivered by government guns;
reactionary views in the guise of progress;

an empire replacing the Republic;
slavery sold as liberty;
We have broken from reality
a psychotic Nation.

Ignorance with a pretense of knowledge
Replacing wisdom.
Money does not grow on trees,
nor does prosperity come from a government printing press or escalating deficits.

We're now in the midst of unlimited spending of the people's money,
exorbitant taxation,
deficits of trillions of dollars--
spent on a failed welfare/warfare state;

An epidemic of cronyism;
unlimited supplies of paper money equated with wealth.
A central bank that deliberately destroys the value of the currency
In secrecy,

Without restraint, without nary a whimper.
Yet, cheered on by the pseudo-capitalists of Wall Street,
the military industrial complex,
and Detroit.

We police our world empire with troops
...700 bases..in 130 countries around the world.
A dangerous war now spreads throughout the Middle East and Central Asia.
Thousands of innocent people being killed,


as we become known as the torturers of the 21st century.


We assume that by keeping the already-known torture pictures from the public's eye,
we will be remembered only as a generous and good people.
If our enemies want to attack us only because we are free and rich,
