Analysis of A Song for Nine-Eleven
Speak out
Shout about
Sacred nine-eleven
Victims compensated
Ten times more than
Fighting men who die for less,
Whose widows pay a tax on
The benefits received.
Shout out
Shout about
False bids and bribes
Twenty four and seven
The G.I knows who's behind him:
Minority buddies in flak jackets
Scalia's disenfranchised
Who can die here
But cannot vote at home
