Two Americas

There are two Americas

One in the west

One in the east

About these promised lands

I couldn't care in the least

The opposites are equal

The 20th Century

Doesn't need a sequel

What we need is damage control

Hegel needs letting out

On parole

I fear only he can referee

This clash of rival philosophy

We need to defeat

The global elite

But we cant do that in the street

There is a battle of ideas

That cant be won

With burning tyres

Education Education

Education Is What We Need

The elite hope

To wash away the record

With reality soap

We need lifelong learning

Not looting and burning

Give away a book in the street

Then the challenge we may meet.
