Written 2003

We’re fighting in the Middle East, let’s face it, for the oil,
But we’ve lost the oil already. We’re occupying foreign soil.

Remember when the Yanks in World War 11 were over here
Our troops despised the “occupiers”, though they were allies and the greater fear
Of Japanese invaders was also ever there.

Just imagine how the Arabs must despise the Europeans.

Racism is a cold, hard fact with which we all have dealings,
However we deny. Let’s respect such feelings,
Primitive though they may be. Acknowledge rather than repress
And then pre-judge in others what we ourselves possess.
