I am a murderer
For the dream of America
In the name of Democracy
For unfettered capitalism
For us against them
I am a murderer
I am a murderer
My victims lie beneath the ground in lands my feet have never tread
Their hapless faces, I have never gazed upon
I have no knowledge of their actions
And can make no judgment of their deeds
They are countless and their names are not written down in any ledger
Did they deserve their fate?
I cannot say
I am a murderer
My victims fell in El Salvador, Grenada, Nicaragua, Panama, Afghanistan,
Kuwait, Iraq, and places of which I do not even know
Because I pay taxes
I am a murderer
Because I do not run into the streets and shout
I am a murderer
Because I do not storm the halls of power
I am a murderer
Because I must confess, I do not even writer a letter in protest
I am a murderer
Perhaps if I lived under a cruel dictator
I could claim there is no blood on my hands
But alas, the facts of democracy allow no innocence
Except to serve the cause of self-deception
I am a murderer
A serial killer
Perhaps something even worse
Yet I rest in untroubled sleep
Where is my conscience?
Where is my morality?
Do I even lack humanity?
But my attention is lulled away by celebrity gossip controversies, game shows, and reality TV
My eyes are ever focused on expensive cars, new cloths, electronic gadgets, and good times
A carrot on a stick for a dimwitted mule
I may look back at the Jewish holocaust and say "never again"
Yet hypocrite that I am
I turn away as genocide in far away lands occur again without end
2008 - Caeser Pink
