Into this world I was thrust into war,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vietnam was just the start of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cambodia and Laos, oh, such splendor,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How I\u2019ve learned so much of hatred and strife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afghanistan and the Iraqi heat,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grenada, Libya, and Panama too,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Death comes for all except for the elite,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their son\u2019s privileges don\u2019t apply to you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could name so many places they fall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bosnia and Haiti, but also drugs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The war on terror and black men who fall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police in the street, acting like thugs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it a wonder we follow our path,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have no compassion, only our wrath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
