I would like to express my disappointment with those of my generation
who have sold out to the same corrupt institutions they had actively
opposed many years before.
While some of you, to your ever-lasting
credit, have kept the faith, most of you have not. In fact, you have
allowed yourselves to become corrupted by the same debilitating greed and
materialism which affected your parents, blinding them to the lies and
manipulations of the evil, power-hungry men of the time -- Lyndon Johnson,
Robert McNamara, and Richard Nixon.

You have forgotten the lessons
learned when you marched against the immoral and illegal war being waged
in Southeast Asia. You say you have grown up and your values have changed.
You no longer have the time to be bothered with politics, but somehow
you find the time to vote for and give money to that other tyrant from
Texas, G.W. Bush.
You invest in Wall Street without any thought that a good
part of the profit you are making is drenched in the blood of the troops
you feign to support, and the innocent civilians caught in the
crossfire. You ignore the images of the horrors of war brought into your
living rooms on the evening news, as you impatiently wait for the business
and sports reports. You find yourselves agreeing with the hate-filled
rhetoric of right-wing radio talk show hosts, who hate all those who
disagree with them. You hold those who march for peace and justice in
contempt, disillusioned fools you say, not living in the real world.
Disloyal Americans, you are thinking, who hate America and Bush.
And to
think that a great many of you marched for peace forty years ago. You
have, like your youth, lost your idealism long ago. You have lost your
souls.
You are no longer the blessed peacemakers, but have instead
become the crucifiers. You have chosen to ignore the truth and drink from
the cup of hypocrisy and greed.
You who support the abomination taking
place in the Middle East, and who support the usurper who has defiled
the temple of our Government, will reap what you have sowed. The
murderous and corrupt policies of the Bush cabal will backfire, your
stocks will plummet, and your own children will be sent into the caldron of
war. You will lose much of what you hold dear, and quite rightly so, and you
will be haunted for the rest of your days.
Maybe you can practice singing the words to an old song you probably
don't remember any more...
