Milk and Hate

In the land of milk honey and hate The Evangelicals sealed it fate Demanding its citizens religiosity Inherent of its edits misogyny Women second class Taliban Treated as a form of contraband The Oligarch fomented dissent While the peasants paid their rent The war machine marched along Its armies played King Kong It became the land of moral decay A nation that had lost its way There was no moral authority They cheated and groped with impunity
