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?
