WTC 911 Not America’s Tiananmen

WTC 911 was America’s Tiananmen
Stifling democracy
Clamping down militarily
One in the name of capitalism
The other in the name of China
One to keep the enemy in
The other to keep the enemy out
One to blame the Muslims
The other at a loss to explain
Both killed thousands of innocents
Both used the media for ignorance
Both seem like they don’t make sense
Both continue denying the truth
But that’s where the similarities stop
For Chinese economy is growing for the people
America’s in the hands of the two percent
America’s still blaming foreigners
Assage, Snowden, and Manning’s exposes
While free-speech goes into a coma
Americans in debt until they die
Addicted to opioids, addicted to power
While China shares its wealth with the workers
Obliterates poverty, builds public confidence
China, where the government controls business and religion
America, where business and religion control the government
China, where they work at improving the ecology
America, where global warming is denied
And the Taiwanese sit in between
The people cannot choose
Any side we live in tyranny of
The people will always lose
Neoliberal two-party ruse
Demagogues and populists of the KMT
Supporting unification haphazardly
Military CIA laissez-faire propping the DPP
Independence screwed
