[ Politics & Religion ] United State of Anarchies

 
Is it so strange for a soldier to question orders?  
 
Just another clay pigeon in a shooting range  
counting grains of sand in his camouflaged fort  
 
What the hell am I here fighting for?  
he often wonders  
 
Absence of change the only progress to report  
 
Is this a war really necessary?  
Or is it just about a son settling a father's score?  
 
Investments in democracy and freedom  
looted by jack booted thugs
in thunderous plunders  
 
All the while gun toting
men in black hoods  
hail to the burning effigies  
 
Welcome to the United State of Anarchies  
where lawlessness is in abundance  
free license to do as you please  
 
Raging above through the toxic air  
here come more Apaches  
raining bullets indiscriminately  
down upon the crowds of civilian  
Shi'ites and Kurds  
 
With the exception of despair  
he is left with a loss of words  
 
and love lost for his country  
 
but no one back home  
in the White House  
seems to care
