Guardians of the Nation

Clear-eyed, are they? Really? These defenders
Of “the nation's interests,” spending us into
The poor house, waging wars which go unwon,
And meddling always, everywhere. A leftist
Must be overthrown. A fascist must receive
Support. This leader's goons will be brought
Here to study at our torture school, and, if
The ones oppressed rebel, they'll soon be
Labeled terrorists, and they, and any others
Near, will be killed by our drones. In this way,
We'll be safe because, though widely hated,
We'll be feared. No one will dare to challenge
Us for now, but, when we're broke...
