Melodie Is a Wound

Flawed, the extradition request
Blown, the freedom of conscience
Is there some form of justice possible or
So long, public's right to know the truth
Gagged, muzzled by the powerful

Cultivate ignorance and hate

The goal is to manipulate
Heavy hands to intimidate
Snuff out the very idea of clarity
Strangle your longing for truth and trust
Choke, wisdom, sapience and prudence
The war economy is inviolable violently
Suppresses all intelligence that conflicts
With the stakes of those who drive it

Truthfulness has fallen in desuetude?
