Now that we are consumed by fear
we can turn to hate
and strike down anything that
does not look like us.

Us, the most powerful
nation on the planet,
with the biggest military and the
god-given dollar
in fear of a boy

with a clock.

And middle-America
lives in fear of any Muslim,
though I don't think they particularly like
'others'.

I've seen a call for the new crusades,
because the best answer to slaughter
seems always to be slaughter,
indiscriminate and brutal.

Our fear will destroy us.
