From The Partisan by Leonard Cohen
".....Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows..."
America Is A Failed State.
Just say A fez.
To make it fast.
America was never meant to be what they said it would be,
That’s why we installed twenty-seven dictatorships
Where we murdered thousands and thousands of people
Who did not speak English.
Just so we get cheap bananas, cheap labor, and much more
In an endless theft of the riches of the world.
I can guarantee you that Somalia is a failed state,
And we are no different from them.
And do we care that the lower third of Americans
make seventeen thousand dollars a year?.
In this aberrant world of ours, the truth is dying.
America is a failed state
We are in the dying of democracy.
The death knell to freedom
The death nell to abundance
The death nell, to what we thought we had.
We have over five hundred seventy thousand dead.
Dead, not murdered, not injured, no, they were killed by
An America plague.
And none of the dead wore nametags of political parties.
We cannot hide behind that fact that we hoped COVID
Would just go away….
And the many thousands just wanted
To make money….and made this money?
Learn this:
Our top one percent of one million two hundred and eighty thousand members.
Walked, skated, danced, sauntered, and grabbed to their hearts
Fifty trillion dollars.,
