"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
I know of a place
Where truth dies without trace
Where a peoplecan not be bold
And truth is never told
Where nothing is clear
Except of course, fear
I know of a government in the dark
A government that shoots citizens in the park
Citizens whose sacrifices in war went in vain
And whose further efforts end up in pain
A government that day after day galls
The few of us with enough balls
As for us who are away
Everything is not okay
So I checked on Amazon, the price of a gun
That’s heads-up enough if you wish to run
The price is well within my Budget
As you are within my target
This time am sure of your ballot
No more than am sure of your bullet
