Imagine if this were the news:
The Nazis won, ending the Jews’
Everything one could conceive
Nothing left except to grieve
Culture, nuance and tradition
Lost to gunpoint proselytism
Any left would bear the scars
Minds existing behind bars
Most would say they disappeared
Though it was all engineered
This is actually what happened
Colonizers drew a map and
Colored in right over them
No right to be American
Genocide before the world
Rolled out like a flag unfurled
America hides this truth inside
Its false...
The Nazis won, ending the Jews’
Everything one could conceive
Nothing left except to grieve
Culture, nuance and tradition
Lost to gunpoint proselytism
Any left would bear the scars
Minds existing behind bars
Most would say they disappeared
Though it was all engineered
This is actually what happened
Colonizers drew a map and
Colored in right over them
No right to be American
Genocide before the world
Rolled out like a flag unfurled
America hides this truth inside
Its false...

Yes, Driven To Tears
Drones replace soldiers
robots work the guns
lobbyists for weapons makers run elections
killing the game since profits run
dictators procure nukes and think that torture is fun
"How can you say you're not responsible
what does it have to do with me
what is my reaction
what should it be?
confronted by this latest atrocity"
Exhaust non renewable resources
radiation in food and air
forests depleted for hamburgers
water not fit for any creature
all that sustains life burns
capital the bane of...
robots work the guns
lobbyists for weapons makers run elections
killing the game since profits run
dictators procure nukes and think that torture is fun
"How can you say you're not responsible
what does it have to do with me
what is my reaction
what should it be?
confronted by this latest atrocity"
Exhaust non renewable resources

forests depleted for hamburgers
water not fit for any creature

the quality of mercy
❝The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.❞
—William Shakespeare
would you be cruel to a wounded fawn?
would you shame still a bruised or broken reed?
would punish you a penitential lamb?
or trample on its path a struggling seed?
has callousness all mercy swept from you,
all pity clean repealed from hope's purview?
would you the hungry...
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.❞
—William Shakespeare
would you be cruel to a wounded fawn?
would you shame still a bruised or broken reed?
would punish you a penitential lamb?
or trample on its path a struggling seed?
has callousness all mercy swept from you,
all pity clean repealed from hope's purview?
would you the hungry...

Cruel Ones
The cruel ones don’t let u up when you r down
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When you r down
Sit and smile at your misery
They sit and smile at my misery
Cruel ones won’t let u up
When ur down
Rip and pull at your heartstrings
Don’t feel…anything
They rip and pull
And u feel real small…Like you’re 2 foot tall
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When u r down
Till a time comes when you don’t care
And leave it all behind
Drop these feelings of being down
And these clowns...
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When you r down
Sit and smile at your misery
They sit and smile at my misery
Cruel ones won’t let u up
When ur down
Rip and pull at your heartstrings
Don’t feel…anything
They rip and pull
And u feel real small…Like you’re 2 foot tall
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When u r down
Till a time comes when you don’t care
And leave it all behind
Drop these feelings of being down
And these clowns...
