In Defense of Torture

The Resident wants to CHA,
And to shelter the thugs at the CIA
By changing the laws to cover the lies
That blatantly counter observant eyes
Defended by Hadley of the NSA.

Their sole defense is that torture works
You can trust the answers that halt the hurts
And it all plays into Republicans’ addendum
To keep fear in the front of the voters’ agenda
While downplaying all their personal quirks.

The real unspoken, diabolical plan
Is to keep us at war anyway they can
There’s gold in selling those bombs and guns
And chemical ways to kill them young ones
So shut up and follow dictates of the Man.

Sadly the “Man” is simply a shell
Within which nothing but demons dwell
And the Resident’s trying to keep on the fast track
Blindly forward and no looking back
On the straight and narrow directly to Hell.

The cover is Christ the philosopher king
Distorting the message of the peace He would bring
Claiming He leads an Army that kills
And any dissenter, they better head for the hills
If we follow the path the “Decider” does sing.

Now, into the circle file...
