Patriotism Faulters

People speak about their personal fears
Laws considered cause concern for freedoms
Reflections transcend problems thru the years
Attacks begin upon inner sanctoms

Sacred cows step to alters for slaughter
Truths that we now see will per chance prevail
Why if freedom survives those who bought her
We may find fighting is to some avail

Death to scale causes deep desire to run
In plans of ones whose families are small
Reports plagiarized justifies what's done
As if spy devices were in each wall

Memories of men tortured by semites
Grandfathers who were tortured and then killed
Said for social change, not religious fights
Bolsheviks and two thirds of cheka willed

They were not killing as jews they will say
Though they don't deny cheka like tortures
For they were two thirds the police at play
Causing wounds too serious for sutures

Stale studies sent to representatives
By our English allies lead to our trials
Blacks gained accolade for these sensitives
Only to find they copied our old files
