Casualty of America

The life of politics simmers
through my veins.

Flames fueled in my heart,
by fragments of truth and freedom.

My brain concealed by the war,
I don't know what Bush's words are worth.

The media? Is it truth or business?

My soul taken hostage by "What's right?"
American b.s. saying
" Give up, we have your life surrounded!"

Grenades dropped at my left,
A-K's poppin' at my right,
told to stand "my" ground,
ironic memories of dodge ball.

I think I'm going AWOL,
I'm a vet of politics,
I'm a vet of the AMERICAN WAY.
