The Winning Team
It’s been a long and stressful week. Rain and pain have been my personal challenges. I know I have nothing really to complain about when compared to the hell others are enduring in places such as Gaza or Sudan. Still, you have to wonder what life would be like if it wasn’t always an uphill climb or an endless fight against the forces of darkness with no light at the end of the tunnel. What would it be like if, just this once, we could be members of “the winning team”?
The Winning Team
a poem by C. A. Matthews
When life is tough and you want to scream
It’s best to join the winning team.
When genocide isn’t all it seems
Know that’s because of the winning team.
The winning team makes all the rules
And those who ignore them are the fools.
Since those that have deserve the rest
Their demands are sacrosanct and blessed—
By God. It’s because of their skewed worldview
That innocent people’s lives have been screwed.
But who cares? Life on top is pure cream
Because you’ve joined the winning team.When fossil fuels are getting lean It’s time to join the winning team. Those with wanted oil are evil regimes That must be destroyed by the winning team. The winning team always knows what’s best. Others’ self-determination is put to the test. Colonizers may come and then they’ll go But don’t resist your betters—that’s a big no-no! Any lame excuse can start a resource war— Don’t you what “false flags” are really for? The devastating results are seldom seen Through Western eyes. The mass media’s on the winning team.
