Barbarians Us

Here in gulag gray
we get harsh
mind control treatment
every day

The hard guards
in control
seek to break
our bodies and souls
with creative tortures
of their own devices

Never underestimate
the cruelty 
man can dispense
on his fellow man

So easily rationalized away

War is Hell after all

and the ends justify the means

Better them than us

cry the America First super patriots

invoking the age old ignorance

as the cycle of violence

rolls on and on

Maybe tis really

our hemorrhaging values 

strapped to the torture table
