#*Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot*…                                       Joni Mitchell Fighting their wars in business suits Blowing up peasant villages Lying, While the Pentagon loots Our failing empire pillages. The wonder boys from Ivy Leagues Look good on paper, making war Their covert actions and intrigues Exhibit what they tax us for. Patriot boogey-man ** Chi Minh Was armed by US in forty-five; Then made the foe as we sent in Our troops. And some returned alive. The Dulles brothers, with their spooks Testing strategies, had a ball Dropping ****** on the ***** Earth turned into a shopping mall. And now, some puppet in Ukraine (a Chinese laundry for their cash), Requests more arms. So please explain Before Crimea burns to ash. That’s all. Their only long-term vision: Body-counts— first bomb, then Starbucks. Spectacles on television; Do not question Daddy Warbucks.
