THE AMERICAN REGIME OF TORTURE

Contributed by steeleyes on Monday, 28th February 2005 @ 06:32:44 PM in AEST
Topic: Patriotic



The American regime of torture
Goes on day after brutal day
In Bagram and Guantanamo
The sadists have their way

And all the results of torture
Just bring what they WANT to hear
They simply press harder
To escalate that fear

Bloody American Nazis
Working night and day
Until they finally hear
What they want them to say

The bloody shame of Guantanamo
Come dripping from the top
From the venom of Bush and Rumsfeld
The lying does not stop

Coercion and Torture-Lite
Beatings and threats of pain
These ugly American Nazis
Send the cycle round again

Swept up in Afghanistan
Or provided by a criminal gang
Did you know they got $5,000
For each one they brought to hang?

In the death-cells of Guantanamo
Where they were sent to rot
No one cared how theyd arrived
Or whether guilty or not

They were presumed to be bad
And told they must confess
Or they would get no lawyer
To help in their distress

So just to get a lawyer
They had to admit to guilt
Even if innocent
Embroider lies like a quilt

Put in solitary confinement
In some rabbit hutch
Manhandled half naked
Two men made to clutch

Head bowed and pushed down
In manacles to walk
Told to maintain silence
No option there to talk

Treated less than animals
And no hope of a trial
Kids as young as fifteen
In a hell without a smile

The American regime of torture
Goes on day after brutal day
In Bagram and Guantanamo
The sadists have their way

Very sad but a briliant write.
a masterpeice of truth-n-cold honesty.
Life any where these days is hard but we jus gotta keep on keepin on and keep our own hearts pure.

the lies grow and the hate grows and the oil resevre shrinks.
