A NATION LIKE NO OTHER (FOR TROY DAVIS AND NEWT GINGRICH)*

We are a nation like no other:

We are the City on the Hill

Where looking down we kill a brother;

Or anybody who’s too shrill.

Here we’re controlled by politicians

Who secretly approve renditions;

And we’re so blind we cannot see

That brother is a you and me;

Here we can execute Troy Davis

On evidence so flimsy that,

If he weren’t black, we’d smell a rat;

And we’d be shouting, “Someone save us.”

The people we should execute:

Republicans. Commence with Newt.
