when there are no rules

When there are no rules

you can sit down to pretend peace talks

then rain bombs on your conversation partner the next day 

You can kill school girls in a primary school,  and then two more, and move on

You can bomb a defenceless ship,  guests in another country, 

watch them drown 

and broadcast it on big screens with beaming smiles

You say only the US can do this, 

you say it with pride,

 

We say it with horror

that only the US could be so morally bankrupt,

to sink an invited guest 

in another's home in international waters,

and boast of it as a victory, 

not the act of a spineless cowardly bully

When there are no rules

you can start a world war

because you are bored

or to make more money

or to distract voters from your fraud,

the fact you supported a man who sold children for sex 

or for no reason at all

We hold the American public responsible

For trump has never been false 

He proclaimed who he was

through words, through actions.

You thought a man 

boasting of grabbing pussy 

wouldn't be different in other contexts?

And you vote him in not once but twice 

even after his thugs rioted in the capitol? 

You are responsible America

You who supposedly saved the world in world war two

are now leading us bright into world war three

together with your best buddy in blood, Israel

So the chief heroes and chief victims of WWII gang up to become the chief villains in WWIII

And this cycle

will only spiral to the inevitable

when we blow up the one planet in this galaxy 

that supports life as we know it, 

laugh in glee as we drown our selves, our bodies, our souls, our homes, 

our gift 

in self-destructive fumes
