The Meds and The Modern Day Holocaust

The Meds

The meds aren't working,
it's happened before
But this time it's different, I know much more.

A vacation from them is what I need
But will I get the chance, will I succeed?

The doctor I trusted is no longer around
Maybe the best thing to do is to stay home bound

To go through the motions out in the world
Makes me vulnerable to them (the system) and what they've been told.

I won't take the others (meds) cause they are a scam
To make big money and turn me into a lamb.

I've done it before and I'll succeed this time
This thing that they do is indeed a crime.

It isn't a big deal except that I'm scared
It seemed different before as the doctor cared.

I won't be a zombie, or an experimental rat
To fill the pockets of the big fat cats.

The Modern Day Holocaust
All in the name of a bloody "Red White and Blue."
by Cal


A child sobs in the rubble
a mother cries, as she sees the uniform
He's but a mere child himself
with a look of terror in his eye.

What did he see?
What made him shoot.
it's just another day in Afghanistan.
Another child lost
Two mothers' hearts broken
Another day in The Modern Day Holocaust.

Two uniforms at the door
A mother's heartwrenching moan
A gunshot wound to the head
He died at twenty by his own hand.
Another day of the The Modern Day Holocaust.

An orphan runs and rocks the Hummer
The driver swerves in Iraq.
An orphan no longer
He's crushed under a tire.
The driver leans down to see if he's breathing
He could have been his little brother.

He died at twenty-three, a gunshot wound to the head
Two uniforms at the door.
A mother's heart wrenching moan.
Another day of the Modern Day Holocaust.

Two Middle Eastern mothers ......
Cry for their children
Two young lives taken
Another day of the Modern Day Holocaust

Two American mothers
Cry for their children
Two young lives taken
Another day of the Modern Day Holocaust

All in the name of ..... "The Red White and Blue."
