The Spoilers

I believe all people have souls I believe in people who believe in God And I believe in all the others We are sisters, we are brothers Recent world events have shaken my beliefs Why are we fighting a phony war Fueled by greed, by power seekers galore? Those Sayers of Doom whose deeds deride American People and America’s Pride (They have lied – and lied – and lied) They are the Spoilers who covet and value Captured land over precious human life These Spoilers hold hands with other Spoilers And that’s an ugly, un-American sight Spoilers are nothing but empty shells They are mindless pathetic fools These Spoilers are really nothing But bottomless, cold black holes Maybe I don’t believe anymore --- I don’t believe all people have souls.
