In Pledging OUR Allegiance
--by Amere Shadow (LLPrichard) 7/1/02rv'd
we
THE Greatest, Rightist Nation
bring to YOU imminent Invasion
CEASE ! DESIST !
YOU
Terrorsimplistic stick and stone!
ATONE! ATONE!
YOU
e-VILE OTHER Do-er!
First
YOU
STRIKE
YOU
WAR
But I can see from both sides now--
this is WAR !
THIS ...is war -----> ------> --------> DEATH
THIS ...is war -----> ----->DOOM!
Why can't you see from both sides now--
...THIS is war-----> ruin
V V V V
despair?
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
But have no fear, YOUR leaders are here.
The Bloody Wise will graciously arise and feed you apple pie
...And, if you're nice--Don't be shy!
CNN will let us watch you cry!
So SMILE, shake hands--accept YOUR fate
Mask YOUR eyes now filled with Hate.
It bleeds, YOUR wholesale compromise.
It bleeds, in color, those wings WE clipped in flight
Can't YOU see, WE have the Divine Right!
Peace-keepers are WE
who serve OUR God's delight!
But Hush now, Babies!
Don't YOU cry!
s-shhhhhhh!! That's Good,
Daddy can help YOU believe in lies...
Rock-a-bye! Rock-a-bye!
Or... comes the time for all
Good babes to die,
marching, marching, side by side,
snuffing out
the faceless, faithless OTHER I's
Just like a Northern sucks up the little candle's flame
from birthday cakes that made
the world seem sane and which
once upon a time
reflected brightly in your eyes.
So pledge allegience, let us sigh-- and do it Right --for auld lang
Zeit.
