freedom

written in the early stages of the "war on terror"

dear friends, this is not our world
many "truths" are told
through the teeth of liars
what we are told is
that the world is our enemy
and we are united against ourselves

they hate our freedom
because we freely feed the machines of war
the bombs are not for free
yet freely they fall
free we are to rape and plunder
to kill and torture
our freedom demands human sacrifice
and a free hand we have
to enslave others and ensure our freedom

they hate our freedom to lie
our freedom to cheat
to freely sit in traffic jams
in cluttered freeways
freemasons freebasing on the blood of the poor
free to demand a place for our freemarket
get free cash back but "nothing's for free"
no free lunch in the land of the free
a freefalling catastrophe awaits
when freedom rings

maybe they're right to hate our freedoms
if it's freedom for us
and free food aid for mutilated children
they're as free to fly planes in skyscrapers
if we can freely bomb rubble into dust
they hate our freedom
because they never asked us to free them
