King and Country




King and Country

America a country of war
Patriots threw tea in the Boston Harbour
shedding bonds of taxation.
Oppression from King George,
They declared their right to bear arms
To rebel against tyranny and oppression.
They pledged to be the voice of freedom,
Of worship, 
Of expression and 
Tolerance.
Welcome the homeless and the oppressed.

One hundred and four wars later 
With five million civilian owned guns
They stand by peace and the second amendment.
They live with their school shootings and wars.
Ready to over throw any government 
they can not control.

Today, their “king” defiles land, liberty, 
Disrespects,
Freedom, levies his own stamp tax
Threatens smaller nations,
They are all “Nasty, nasty People”
He teaches fear and loathing.
A king and his country constantly at war
What are all those guns for?
