Artist : Propagandhi
Song : Albright Monument Baghdad
Wadia's best friend's youngest sister was denied
a proper burial because for two days they
couldn't douse the flames the allied planes had
showered on her tiny body. And all the paper
trails that lead to all the roads that lead to
all these Basras make it seem like we're all just
"collateral damage" waiting to be happened in some
unforeseen Pentagon budget-drill. Today's Ba'ath
regime is just the Red Scare of yesteryear. And I
drink myself to sleep because I'm losing faith
that any of us will ever amount to anything more
than reluctant human subsidies, the moving parts
in a death-machine, protesting their complicity,
but waiting for somebody else to throw their body
on the churning gears. I drink myself to sleep
because I'm losing faith that we, here in the
Cradle of Affluence can cease this sickening
drive for individual strength through
state-powers' swinging fists or that we'll ever
look back and laugh at the irony that is: an
atomic murderer is enshrined in Independence, USA
while 8000 miles from here (back in the Cradle of
Democracy) it's another banner year for a cottage
industry – a ritual at the corner of George and
Constantine - as foundries scramble to recast his
decapitated monument.
