God Bless Hysterica

 

The war on terror won’t subside

till everyone is terrorized

 

terror is as terror does

everywhere, that is, because

 

in every town your average slob

is terrified to lose his job

 

whatever else we may espouse

we’re terrorized we’ll lose our house

 

we’re terrorized to let our kids

out of our sight or God forbid

 

at home, at school, or at the mall

we’re terrorized to lose it all

 

the Democrats are terrorized

to seem like softies in our eyes

 

and just name one who isn’t cowed

from going against the corporate crowd

 

since it isn’t going to disappear

they paint this picture of our fear

 

a foreign face, a distant place

a different faith, a different race

 

that’s terror in America

that borders on Hysterica
