Europeans just fall for it
This myth of feasibility
Of endless possibilities
Of freedom and equality
They ignore the Big Boy
Playing president
The soldiers sent to
Useless wars
The weapons hidden
In every second closet
They still follow
The false promises of
A nation
Held captured by Prozac
A country
Where pills come in
Giant-size packs
To keep the zombies of
the modern work-ethic alive
They are swallowed by
The hand-full
Just like everything else
Including emotions
That are too big
To be easily digested
Europeans
Sacrifice themselves willingly
On this self-service buffet
Of the New World
They readily join the
Eat-as-much-as-you-can
Philosophy
Of gluttony and obesity
Nourishment
For the Eternal Conqueror
With the sexual hang-ups
Who comes, sees and triumphs
Then rushes home
To instant absolution
Dealt by bleeding heart
Radio stations , false priests
He believes in God alright
Yet defies him daily
In his addiction to
Fast food, TV and drugs
Remedies against the
National Lie
He readily preaches
False freedom to the
Delusioned masses
Requiring entrance at
The borders of
His sham paradise
Where they still
Timidly wait in line
For the salvation from
The alleged burdens
Of their grave history
