Silence Condones Du and Drones

SILENCE CONDONES DU & DRONES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ McEmpire's Dollar menu Serves up fast kills - Who pays the bills? Spent uran'yum? - Small watts; big ill. To store, or $ell? Makes heavy shell. Blasts through walls well. Recycled hell. Deployed now, $well! The order's passed: Deep fried dark ass. The searing flash, Such menu class: Crispy critters! Some sauce? Must ask. Breathe toxic gas. Eat here? To go? Death swift, then slow. Too late to know the drift; winds blow a deadly flow, through lungs, where go the silent blows to genes, thus sown such seeds of woe. Fallujahns know. War profits grow, Health defects show. Yet who will know how was bestowed this plague of glow? With press in tow; Truth's shaft - sans bow. Sick Vets soon go Six feet below - More graves to mow. Their health care dough Drops to ZERO! Life's value: Low. We watch the show; Lost in the flow - To war we go, So few say: NO! Safe status quo Lets madness grow. This shadow foe Strikes deep its blow. We've sunk so low. We make no row. No threat we pose To leaders, those Who send the drones that bomb the homes In target zones. Crushed fam'lies moan. While killer clones Just count scorched bones. Silence Condones!

Neolife In the Neoworld

Brief:  Pregnant teens, Gays & Gaza - Lots in Common. How dirty a word is Neo? You will soon know.
======================================================

NeoLife in the NeoWorld ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When NeoChurch weds NeoState, Spawns NeoFlag; Breeds NeoHate: HypoChristian NeoFascists Should Pregnant Teens just slit their wrists? Soon NeoRoe v. NeoWade Will NeoCourt let Church invade? Just why must bible Zombie lies, Be so enforced on women's lives? Abortion's still a legal right; Must clinic access be a fight? Threaten doctors with "Thou shalt not" And when they do, just have them shot!? A self-appointed "God's Killer" Thus snuff'ed the life of Dr. Tiller Religious Reich: for "God" they'll kill; As Women's Rights go straight downhill. They all do speak direct to god. They'll keep us straight with cattle prods A NeoZealot holy war; Self-righteousness is at its core. Smug Gay-Bashing NeoBigots, Warped words pouring from their spigots. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As false flag terror, spreads Neofear; Our rights, so dear, soon disappear FOX propaganda tidal waves Well wash the brains of TV slaves. Bogus threats of time bombs ticking! Human rights must take a licking? If terrorist I just MIGHT be? MUST NeoNazis torture me? NeoExce$$ WARp'rate Profit$ $uch Corrupting NeoLobby'st$ All Profiteer$' check$ have been ca$hed, While whistle blowers just get bashed; At war forever will we be? Whose job to end this? You and me! A Pentagon of pedaphiles; Child porn Web searching brings their smiles! NeoDreading NeoSpying; 'ttorney Gen'ral NeoLying. Corp'rate Judges? Dollar Ju$tice? Clueless Congress? No trust from Us! NeoPrez hoards NeoPowers, NeoTyrant ? Congress Cowers NeoTrampled Constitution Citizens still NeoSnoozin’ Economy ? NeoChillin'; NeoBanksters' pockets fillin' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zionists have Gaza captured; HypoChristians NeoRaptured A genocide Israeli-style: Dead siblings, five, stacked in a pile. NeoCol...lateral Damage: These dead kids won't need no bandage. At tanks, who dared to throw some stones? In "self-defense" - must BOMB your homes! Occupation stranglehold, Hits hardest on the young and old. NeoFiltered NeoMeed'ya, NeoWars ? WeNoCanSeeYa NeoTerror a NeoSource The World does see, it's U.S of course! Sadly sunken NeoNation; NeoCrisis! Must start Facin’!!!
