Poor Charlie Kirk or The American Way???
Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk
Poor victim of the American Way
People shot every day
School Children, Senators, Presidents, CEOs, Passers By
Executions
Every class, every color, every sex
It’s the American Way
Supporting the NRA in the biggest way
Is Russia
Stoking fear, stoking hatred, stoking gun sales
It’s the American Way
More guns than people
Semi-Automatics, pistols, shot guns, home-made printed guns
Death is our calling card
Hidden in the language of defense
War is the game
Profit is the way
Poor Charlie Kirk
Poor Senators, poor children, poor innocent bystanders
Too many names to memorialize
Except in the hearts of their spouses, parents, teachers or friends
President Kennedy shocked us all
Then Martin, then Bobby, a few more unknowns, and even a Pope
Then more guns to protect us from ourselves
More guns to protect us from ourselves
Moses said “thou shalt not kill”
Jesus “blessed the peacemakers” and “turned the other cheek”
And Buddha simply said “no killing”, period
But, a “well-regulated militia is necessary to defend”
Has somehow become an AK-47 in the hands of any
Insecure incel or mentally disturbed psycho
With enough cash to make it to a gun show
No ID, no background check, no common sense
Just cash
Like the Justice Kash, Patel. No common sense
The president walks around with his brains hanging out
Pushing diplomats off stage, so he can stand out
Laughing at disabled folks
Encouraging his supporters
To Storm the Capital, because he didn’t get his way
At rallies, he encourages violence against his enemies
He even has an enemies list, like Nixon in the old days
The Emperors of old said to divide and conquer
The Emperor of today learned well and has no clothes
Is naked to the world with his ass sticking out
and his mouth like a blowfish
He wants to shut down comics, prosecute commentators
Who think he’s a threat
Who think he’s a fool
Who think he’s gone too far
The people sit and watch, as it’s hard to turn from a wreck
If the ratings are good and they still buy more stuff
Doesn’t matter what he says, as long as we watch
Charlie Kirk had the good sense
to appreciate his parody on South Park
His skin thick enough for a little sarcasm
He was a modern-day Bill Buckley
With an “everyman” demeanor and a talent for debate
Not a pencil wielding snarky intellectual from the upper class
A true man of the people
The debater is dead, shot in the head
With an engraved bullet, an American made bullet
Poor Charlie Kirk, the debate is done
Guns verses butter, guns won
After 911
Jesus straddled a jeep,
wrapped in an American Flag and carried an AK-47
The new Christians
have taken Christ the Peacemaker out of Christianity
and made him into a God of War and Retribution
So much for Peacemaking and Defense
The Gods of War have renamed the Department of Defense
To the Department of War
So we’ll finish off any invasion that the Russians start
Because they do fund the NRA
And our Pedophile President want’s nothing more
Than to join the club of autocrats
Who now hold 70% of the Planet hostage
The old American Way was Corporate Capitalism
From both parties
Faggetabout Main Street Capitalism
Too democratic
Corporate Capitalism eventually leads to Fascism
Nazism is National Socialism
The billionaires are eating up the millionaires
Poor Charlie Kirk
He’s gone
But his family lives on
No father, no husband, no dad any more
Just a memory to be memorialized
Not sanctified
With more guns, more guns, more guns
It’s the New American Way
Supported by Putin and the NRA
It’s ever more profits
It’s chaos and fear
The billionaires like to see the workers fearful and afraid
So they’ll show up every day and keep the smooth machine running
Profits for them and crumbs for those others
The new and improved American Way.
