Anger - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

My mind is filled with anger
By the status of our state
Our leaders say they torture
And the information's great
We've been safe since nine eleven
No more terrorist attacks
Yet what about the letters
That were powdered with Anthrax
And what about the wire taps
And wholesale data mining
The Constitution shredding
And endless right wing whining
Let's attack a sovereign nation
And send our children off to die
Corporate press will be our cheerleaders
It's unpatriotic to ask why
Was anything accomplished?
Is the world a better place?
If we had a moral high ground
We've lost it in disgrace
