Depleted Uranium

dropping more then bombs on innocents  
depleted uranium    
poisoning the world  
leukemia and horrendous birth defects  
and a ton of other horrible side effects  
born without a face yet it lives  
born with seven eyes no mouth or nose yet it lives  
born with an exposed brain yet it lives  
   
 depleted uranium    
a half life of 4.5 billion years    
when the earth is gone  
the uranium will live on  
the effects of uranium are disgusting  
and have been known to the government    
for years    
depleted uranium is in the war heads of every bomb dropped  
every nuclear reactor, depleted uranium  
   
   
sick soldiers  
come home and have sick babies  
really its the effects of the depleted uranium  
Iraq reaches temps of 120 degrees  
its dry and arid  
inhaling depleted uranium with every breath they take  
fighting for the ones who kill you slowly  
then they dismiss your illness    
and give it a cute name  
they call it call gulf war syndrome  
   
a weapon of mass destruction  
sometimes defined as those whose effects  
linger in the environment, causing harm to people.    
this is cluster bombs    
tomahawk cruise missiles  
they are being dropped all over the world    
without a fucking care about anyone  
at all

fucking sad and depressing    
but this list will grow  
and so will the tumors,  
blood diseases    
and birth defects  
do your own research  
see for yourself  
I can tell you anything    
go look for yourself  
take a looksie at the babies  
see the horror  
really see it  
I had to,  
my aunts baby  
conceived in Iraq  
born in Iraq  
she had a heart and it beat  
had everything but a face  
or feet  
   
   
   
 ~~~~depleted uranium is a war crime~~~~  
 any country using it should be charged with mass murder and crimes against humanity!
