National Security

National security, a blanket phrase that conceals the deception
Billions extorted from the fearful masses
By creating a new adversary
The government tries to enforce civility
While a covert operation takes place
Destroying more countries in the name of capitalistic democracy
While we deplete the world's resources
Conservative or liberal is all irrelevant
To a starving child in a wealthy society such as ours
Timeless greed with little concern for the consequences
In 200 years homosapiens have morphed this planet
Into a world extremely difficult to survive within
