American
It’s a shell exploding
Throwing a dead child into the arms of a mother
On the
television news of
And there is this heater
In the yard next door
For the outside
It’s people still without running water
Dying of malaria in 2008
Told not to
use condoms by the religious in
Coupled with people screaming
At six minutes
In the McDonald’s line
For one dollar food
It’s a headline that says
Tens of
millions in
Without any rescue possible
Under a headline that says
Boiler fall kills one
In
It’s the guy who
When I talk of these things
Says I hate
Open eyes won’t stop this shit
Greed is eternal
And I’d rather be here
Where one can be greedy
Than there
Who wouldn’t
Still
They don’t die because they hate freedom
They die because we don’t share it
