The Line Is Erased.
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 11:37 PM by truthbetold
I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 and I was inspired. So I decided to write some poetry. It's really short but most of my stuff is.
Wanted to know what you guys think. The title refers to the line between fact and fiction, which the administration has been trying so hard to get rid of.

No one is fighting for liberty
Or even the American way
They are dying to line the pockets
Of CEOs like Kenneth Lay

Souls are only just a number
In the latest stock market deal
And no amount of blood stained money
Shows them the pain that you now feel

It's sad when our deceptions
Become the last thing that you got
When your only son or daughter
Lies in a cemetery plot

So flip on the television
Eat up the lies that you are fed
You're in the hands of Big Brother
Until the day that you are dead
