the greatest Empire the world has ever seen
(now bankrupt and broken)
gets help from so many quarters
conservatives, bleeding heart phonies, …
to continue its war machine
so many are itching to beat Syria and Iran
and others come up with new places and enemies
phonies like George Clooney is after Sudan
he also recommends freezing accounts of the enemy
the Invisible Children phonies wants the Empire
to go after a couple of hundred Christian terrorists
of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Africa
none of these pushers stop to think
about the Empire’s crimes and terror
which, in comparison to others, is
LRA raised to the power millionth or more
but then they reside in the headquarter of the Empire
a place where they get their steak, glamor, and publicity
of course, at the expense of others’ lives and limbs
