perhaps you are right Ollie
\nsome able bodies do cheat welfare
\nbut how does that compare
\nto zillions of deaths and slaves
\nfighting perpetual wars decided
\nby the Privileged Class?<\/p>\n
but no, Charlie,
\ntheir are no perpetual wars
\nseein’ as how greed has no limits
\nall wanna be Empires run out of gas
\ner, that is, Money,
\neventually…you see…
\neven when they know they can not win
\nsee how they continue to war?
\nThey know not else but “Stay the course.”<\/p>\n
How long will they play Vietnam in Iraq?
\nIn their World War I the ratio
\nof civilian deaths to soldiers deaths was
\n10 soldiers to 1 civilian
\nIn their World War II the ration
\nof civilian deaths to soldiers was 50\/ 50
\ntoday it is 80% civilians to 20% soldiers
\nand they call it collateral damage
\nto sound more “humane”.<\/p>\n
Oh Ollie
\nsee the man in the fashionable suited tie?
\nHe does not look happy
\nbut he does look proud he made all his money
\nin stock market investments.
\nIs he proud of not doing slave labor?
\nDid he save a life today, or any other
\nrandom act of kindness?
\nDid it wash the blood from his diamond hands?<\/p>\n
Diamonds dripping with blood
\nare NOT a girls best friend Marilyn
\nI’m sorry they made you sing that
\nI’m sorry they could not let you live
\nbut that’s the way it is for those who worship
\nthe Money God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
