Heresy

by Al Jensen

This facade of governing with glory
of patriots and men of state
is nothing short of fantastic story
American public so sedate
no one sees through dressed up lies
through falsehoods woven fine
all we care for are freedom fries,
patriotism, and boycotting French wine

a war is here and you don't see
through trickery and charm
the terrorist is him not me
he is causing all the harm
he cuts the taxes, hurts the masses
while the poor all stand in line
they're sprinkling their children's ashes
while the rich all wine and dine

he lies about a tragedy
that took 3000 lives
executing master strategy
at the expense of those husbands and wives
he goes to war for gasoline
but not for noble cause
accuses me of heresy
while its he who really lost

he cannot tolerate a persons need
to marriage or their life
he thinks of only conservative creed
not man and man, or wife and wife
he cannot see a reason
to let a mother choose
he considers it a terrible treason
although the life is hers to lose

American voter don't you see
the time is very right
you can make us all so free
we won’t silence without a fight!
