|
Where fables often tell, of tyrannies undone |
|

|
Glaring, stark omissions, rapacity unseen |
|

|
Treaties gone ignored? |
|
Unjust annexations, and rough-riding hordes? |
|
Why prevaricate? |
|
Heirs to thievery |
|
From Grande to St Lawrence, a nascent power heaved |
|
Monroe Doctrine, Manifest Destiny decreed |
|
Push to the Pacific, across the open see |
|
Eliminate the natives (and leave them a museum!) |
|
Expansion had an engine - the slavery of man |
|
From Cuba to Manila, we solidified our plan |
|
Den of ****ing thieves |
|
Heroes, dripping out from texts as Gods |
|
Liars, fueling fables, taught as axioms |
