wake up hysteria,
good morning america;
don't panic but your
countries senile;
the politicians are evil.
what's the media feeding you?
propaganda and slander,
B. S. by the bushel,
big oil officials,
deceit by the barrel
thats current america.
But I pledge allegiance
to corporate america;
to the united states of apathy
and oxymorons; one nation
under Allah with liberty, justice
and health insurance for
those who can afford it.
my country isn't free,
sweet land of irony.

ayatollah khomeini –
told people to –
incite a protest,
to go onto the roof tops
you know, nonviolent protest,
and scream um
god is great –
~ allah akbar
and to scream it only at night – -
- -
- so that –
when
people were
were listening
it would be like crickets - -
- the crickets at night,
and just hearing, and that feeling like –
people – joining in, and,
communicating with each other -
writing down
like their –
their nation’s –
diary
of what was happening
