Terrors birthA Poem by anartaoOsama was just a bullet fired from a gun in Uncle Sam’s hand, Ameri-stani birth against a communist held land The enemy of our enemies is still just a killer with a gun, children’s textbook jihad, and the blowback had begun Al Qaida and the Taliban both birthed from eagles womb , watered by black money, crescent thorns below the bloom Progressive turns to primitive, Lilith’s blood now gagged and bound , the clock is ticking backwards in this cold war stomping ground A nation left to suffer for anothers chessboard square, the pawns fall for the kings, and castles abound in class warfare Red threat gone, the jackals leave the scraps for fighting hounds, a world where violence rules, and educations out of bounds Limp puppets long forgotten by the hands that worked the strings , the hawk has long departed, dripping blood from off its wings But then the wings of jihad toppled the pillars of that nation, a violence now returning home, their terrors germination And so again the war machine returns to familiar places , though this time not behind a mask of proxy native faces Hunting for the mastermind whose banner they supported, the man whose violent actions they applauded and exhorted The people they once armed because they were a useful tool , the wolves who have come forth from these, the former Empire’s mules But like always there’s hidden cogs and reasons left unspoken, the shadows from the public tale for invading a land broken A handy place for pipelines that could feed the first worlds needs, a crop of green for missions black grown from the poppy seeds To help, the lapdog media weaves a tapestry of lies , transforming names to numbers, unmanned death rains from the skies Waving tattered flags and singing patriotic songs , propaganda pumping till for war a nation longs Jealous of our freedom runs a well familiar line , the war on terrors catchphrase of Orwellian design True, the reasons have to do with an aspect of being free , but more like free from the Empires deadly foreign policy Free from military bases that are spread around the earth, free from forced abortions halting democratic birth Free from corrupted dealings with known human rights abusers , free from civilian casualties, with their collateral excuses Free from a global bully extorting lunch money in the yard, hypocrites that slander, with their own crimes are others tarred The reasons for this hatred are those that walk the halls of power The candy that they feed you blackens teeth and turns tongues sour Dig a little deeper past the lies and pointing fingers , and above the smell of bullshit, find the scent of truth that lingers
