[bodytext] => Are you happy now? All alone Enemies all around And you: superhuman In the ultimate system? Oh, no doubt No doubt at all! Such a wonderful system! Such a Christian country! Such selflessness! Such heroism! On the fast track to fascism We see only ourselves Perfection mirrored in each other Perfect lawns Perfect teeth Perfect souls Perfect laws Perfect religion On the fast track to fascism We are all perfect And you... Are other! Lesser lifeforms Not blessed like us In the great U.S. So perfectly controlled Guided by ignorance Sheltered by stupidity Nurtured by naivete Lulled by illusion Fed on lies Oh no! That‘s not us! We love our jailors God preserve our arrogance And save us from knowledge keep us ignorant Like rats in a trap Down here among the shiny plastic We‘re all good rats here On the fast track to fascism [comments] => 1 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
