Corporate Policy

Do you think they know?

When they talk about

patriot acts and revenge,

illegal imprisonment and torture,

justice by any means necessary,

do you think they know

that they are the ones

who are slowly killing this place

called home,

the land of liberty

and justice for all?

Or perhaps they do,

perhaps this is the excuse

they have been waiting for

all along,

ever since the public became aware

that the government lies,

that cops plant evidence

and arrest innocent people,

since JFK and Vietnam,

since the Bay of Pigs

and Watergate,

perhaps;

but more than likely

they never really cared at all,

they take their orders

from the board rooms

and CEO desks’

of the world corporations;

the real rulers of America.

Who pays the cost of all those news channels

you watch every day?

or those newspapers and magazines you read?

(why do you think that is?)

it is corporate policies

that decide when the next bombs drop,

and where,

so you want to stop a war?

simply make it unprofitable,

unfortunately war is very profitable

(for awhile),

but then it becomes costly,

so eventually

it has to be stopped;

and health care?

sorry pal,

you’re just shit out of luck

there,

besides;

nature has already provided

a plan of its own.
