The Worst Minds Of My Generation
I saw the worst minds of my generation
seize and occupy the White House.
Shenanigans at the poles, some say.
I saw the worst minds of my generation
turn millions of people
into slaves of fascist corporate empires;
"Freedom & democracy" they said.
I saw the worst minds of my generation
coin a new phrase:
"shock and awe".
I saw the worst minds of my generation
turn greed and lust for power
into moral imperatives.
I saw the worst minds of my generation
proclaim war
as live entertainment on television.
"ratings" they said.
Apparently they think we like
watching people kill each other dead
live
on TV.
I saw the worst minds of my generation
turn the press into an instrument
of propaganda.
"National security" they said.
Perhaps America too, like China,
needs a democracy wall.
