collateral INSECURITY

Innocent children caught in the crossfire
While powers that be expand their personal empire
Shedding another media contrived tear
Who are the real beneficiaries of fear?

Promoting ignorance in a twisted debate
Using tragedy to flame ideologies of hate
Displaying more weapons to calm our fear
The politician’s rhetoric now even less sincere

Shaking hands with other evil men
Passing legislation with a stroke of a pen
Robs us our basic human rights
Distracted by the never-ending fights

Selling weapons and selling lies
To us the proletariat, you despise
Your secret handshakes in the dark
Duplicitous greed ignites the spark

A light of newfound clarity
Rich to poor, morbidity rate disparity
Just like you censored the Acheson report
Que another counterfeit camera friendly retort

(Another news station that you have bought)

Forever pushing your own agenda
A manifesto that I will return to sender
Always the children who suffer for lies
Whatever the stretch of earth they occupy
