"As We Become the Soviet Union"/POETRY by Michael J. Farrand

AS WE BECOME THE SOVIET UNION

As we become the Soviet Union
And sacrifice our liberties
Know this:
It is for a good cause.

The Soviet cause was:
Rid the world of capitalism.
Our cause is:
Rid the world of freedom robbers.

But in their zeal to:
Lead the world.
And rid it of:
Capitalists.
They used up all of their:
Money.

Because without:
Capitalists.
There is no:
Money.
And without money:
There is no country.

And in our zeal to:
Lead the world.
And rid it of
Freedom Robbers.
We use up all of our
Freedom.

Because the war against:
Freedom Robbers.
Makes all of us:
Soldiers without freedom.
And without freedom:
There is no America.
