MYTH OF CAMELOT

---

looking elsewhere
new world, manifest destiny
monroe doctrine, red scare
new deal, lend lease
red scare redux
korea
vietnam

looking elsewhere
myth of camelot
bay of pigs
forget the past
a brand new day dawns
going all the way with locally bought justice

looking elsewhere
afghanistan
star wars
serbia
911 at home
afghanistan redux
iraq
guantanamo

looking elsewhere
myth of Camelot redux
can’t we just drone this guy?
deplorables
900 offshore military bases

looking elsewhere
genocide
age related dementia
genocide
return to past glory
genocide
it hurts to look closer to home
genocide
the mirror doesn’t lie

looking elsewhere, ukraine
looking elsewhere, palestine
looking elsewhere, syria
looking elsewhere, yemen
looking elsewhere, iran
looking elsewhere, venezuela
looking elsewhere, burkina faso
looking elsewhere, china

looking elsewhere
ahoy matey, pirates starboard!
nazi gold, looted artworks, trafficked artefacts
plundered riches, purloined resources
oil, gas, lithium, cobalt, wheat
nothing left at home to seize

looking elsewhere
because good wages kill factories?
because taking is easier than making
on the road again, forever wars
stock market crash
reserve currency no more
shanty towns and gated communities
hyperinflation
margin call
foreclosure
no soup for you

looking elsewhere
because blame belongs somewhere else
no fault no claim
no foul no harm
no time to spare
no

looking elsewhere, still looking elsewhere
looking elsewhere, the mirror cracked

I remember
wounded knee
matewan
nagasaki
hiroshima
maralinga
gaza

looking somewhere else and missing what is there
looking somewhere else and missing what is here
looking elsewhere, myth of camelot
the new world was someone else's world first
