Pledge of a Grievance

by David Linhart

Dissident Voice

September 13, 2003

 

 

I pledge a grievance

To the Unilateral States of Aggression

Because the Constitution

Is property insurance

For rich folk making money

To use to make more money

 

 

I pledge a grievance

To the Unilateral States of Aggression

Because ordinary folk are confused

Into shooting ordinary folk

While rich folk keep score

Making up rules as they go along

 

 

I pledge a grievance

To the Unilateral States of Aggression

Because soldiers who die for freedom

Are expendable and dead

They died for special interest instead

Freedom dies each of their deaths

 

 

I pledge a grievance

To the Unilateral States of Aggression

For taking risks we have to take

For expecting casualties on our side

Who is we? Who is our side?

Who is our side's mother?
