When did she become
The sacred cow,
That she apparently is
This instant right now?
Can anybody tell me
Why or how,
The rest of the world
Is expected to kowtow?

She’s done more
With the desert sand
Than the people who rightfully
Call it their land
But her hegemony
Is out of hand
And she’s gotten away with it
Just because she can

Call this what you want,
How ‘bout, a word to the wise?
Tell the truth about her
And you’re ostracized
Is it any wonder why
She’s despised
By many of her neighbors
Who have family ties

Everybody knows,
She once was victimized
As the world stood by
And watched with their-own eyes
While ignoring calls for help
Or her lonely cries
But she’s now the sole owner
Of the guilt franchise
