the old men march slowly, their bones stiff and sore,

they’re tired old heroes from a forgotten war.

and the young people ask, “What are they marching for?”

and I ask myself the same question.

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor.

Thanks for picking up the slack while the US is messin around and not getting stuff done. Hopefully they can get their act together and resume support soon.

We have genocide at home already, it’s on the long term effects of the trail of tears and flooding the reservations with cheap alcohol and bad land shelf

Kid: Can we get some genocide?
