And high cheek bones
I see multitudes

When your heart
is being torn asunder
and completely
being ripped to shreds;
when your spirit's

Sir Richards blazing stand, one I never knew,
The gallant English David, standing despite...

In the far off distance the cannons make their report,
As we huddle in groups to show our support.

Blindly attacked, all we can do is to try to hit back,

America - the one undimming shining star,
A land of freedom, of unbounded pride
Where no one needed run and hide
For their religion or mere thought,
Democracy - the very heart...

A HUNCHED BACKED MOBSTER

It’s sunset in late afternoon, where towards a water pan,
A pride of lionesses, approach with a much rehearsed plan,
Followed by a clan of mobsters,
Hyenas cackling luridly like monsters,
All wanted the impala buck,...

In the lush beer gardens of New Berlin,
fräulein Democracy dalmatian died
giving birth to a litter of surrogate lies

Fourth Reich Vandals with mongrel desires,
now on a demolition blitzkrieg breathe
Wehrmacht vapors rising volcanic once again

Fair warning to you

My fellow brethren

As justified as your cause 

May well indeed be

If you wish to take

And state your case

Not only do they have and come

As standard uniform and issue...

I DON’T like your name.
