THE SHAME OF AMERICA: GUANTANAMO

Contributed by Steeleyes on Friday, 12th March 2004 @ 11:38:32 AM in AEST
Topic: political



At Guantanamo America shows
what U.S. “democracy” and “justice”
are all about
Making America look just as dirty
as those they despise

The guards threaten and abuse
and use psychology torture tools
to extract what they want
Manhandling men
All decent rules they flaunt

Treated as slaves
and dirty beasts
Abused as guilty
without a trial
This is the American way
all life and rights to defile

In a concentration camp
Herding like slaves
Acting just as the Nazis
Worse in many ways

Abusing their countries name
The ugliest military of the U.S.A.
Abusing rights to create even MORE hate
More of what they wish to go away

They confirm U.S. justice as corrupt
Caring nothing for fairness or law
The World Bully simply expects
us to ignore its every flaw

Total arrogance is the order
of their day
Do as we want!
Do as we say!!
Comply!!

But we will NEVER comply
The world stands firm
Against American savages
That make TRUE justice squirm

This is quite the normal day in prisons of the arab nations, with the exception this fellow walked out alive to tell his story. I grow increasingly tired of your "blind in one eye"
opinions and still await a poem from you of the horrors that take place at the hands of other governments. But know what? You won't ever write about them because you are a predjudice man who hates America. Too bad you don't use your talent and powerful words to the good. It is true there are many wrongs done by America, but you make us as the scourge of the world. See how far the world gets without our food, money and military buddy. The world accepts our food gladly, takes our money freely, and expects our sons and daughters blood to be spilled for them when their "tribal" wars get too big , then spits in our faces afterward. You insult every man and woman who every served by your words which, I might add, you are able to spout off because of a right this worthless satanic old USA bought for you with the blood of our youth...FREEDOM OF SPEACH
