Collective Sin Is a Virtue

united states are in debt most
kingdoms countries are in deficit
they have beautiful cars great highways
bread to eat water to drink and almost
free air to breathe
so dont worry about debts deaths and deficits
we are all in debts deficits and on our way 
to death
united states are in debt deficit
they make more arms to sell
to create new wars
to erase the deficits
to help the poor people
to throw away dictatorships
to save the world
to help us save from extinction
extinction of *****sapiens sapience
still we are in debt

we are deficient
we need to protect every inch of barren land
patriotism is a pretext to fool us the common idiots
and we believe or are methodically brain washed
i need to go soon let us hurry

if we are short or deficient when we starve
we might steal rob or pawn for a piece of sliced bread
and under pressure we could kill to escape a rapist
or solicit or sell our body pawn our souls
lest we might die of hunger which we never knew before
our cells will lack the power we will perish
but if the countries are deficient nothing happens
cos they print paper and call it money to circulate
it is coloured paper with pictures of great morons mostly
they have oil gold silver guns bombs and tanks and rockets
they will never perish or die
so money is basically art paper an illusion

if we print money when we starve we go to jail for sure
yet they print whatever they need to create inflation and call it
economic reformation and bails out greedy middle men who 
controls our common destiny and glorified
we could be sentenced for life if we forget to pay the taxes
they decide we should pay
if we steal or solicit or sell our body or mind
for an ounce of red meat
you could be electrocuted

but they could kill millions
rape rob and murder patriotically
and they are glorified felicitated statues
of stone marble copper silver and wires 
are erected and we pay homage
cos it is for the common good they say
we need to maintain peace
we go to war to experience peace petty simple and straight
if there is no peace there is no war
we need to sell our arms we need to destroy and then 
rebuild we need money to do our things
it is the economical boom to wipe away our debts
so logically if we commit crime collectively
as an organisation your sins are called virtues
if as an individual even virtues are sins sometimes

let us exchange our eyes and
scrutinise the secrets of their inadequate genitals
if you dont have a rascal of a lawyer

yes peter. i have spoken to lot of people who have seen war at close quarters and they all detest it. there is no place for war and no justification. very few for their greed exploit the majority. sad
