somewhere within my state is a base
a military base
that's incredibly important to our government

i hate it

planes fly overhead at night
always at night
and i never know what they're for

are they for crops, or for war

and they make me scared
scared and sick
because we could get bombed any minute now

who's to say this isn't the last minute i have

the last people you would expect to make comments on society
would be matt stone and trey parker
creators of south park, one of tv's most "offensive" television series

but despite all of the crass humour
and the continuous jabs
its satire is inexplicably profound

many people often reduce the jokes to just that
jokes
but the people who understand satire see past it

and that is exactly what has let south park endure
the blatant satire appeals to two entirely different crowds
but only one actually understands what's going on
