The Enemy Within

Americans are reminded of terror
In newspapers, radio and on TV
Into “Hi-Def “screens they stare
At Beck, Palin and Sean Hannity

They’re feed a steady diet of fear
As, yellow alert scale moves to red
Endless images of 911 year after year
Whilst Afghans pile-up their dead

It’s time to start asking for the truth
Time to hold those who’ve lied account
We must listen to the voices of our youth
‘Fore their body counts begin to mount

We must hold account all those that sin
At last,
Find peace by purging the enemy within
