A New Breed

we cheat, steal, and lie hoping

to get caught by authorities as
nothing will happen...  we are
the new breed of American
sons and daughters; we are not
like our parents nor are we like
our grandparents who created
a country deep into treachery
and deceit because we perceived
ourselves to be more civilized
more religious than anyone else;
our gods were false as were the
prophets from which we had
extracted our teachings, pausing
in reverence to their subversion;
we kill for pleasure, sacrificing
dead animals to the fire pits of
cooking, patting ourselves on
the back for defeating an much
inferior country...  we were the
disciples of the devil, and our
conceived children are now
unleashing holy terror on us.
