To Me or not to Me

Above all else
Be true to your own 'ME'
Or others will use thee
And in servitude
Forever you'll be
Destined to live
And die in misery
When sent to war by
Washington's fat cats,
Those profiteering
Predatory rats,
Waving a flag,
Spouting some platitudes,
While you die in Iraq,
Coming home
Packed in a body bag.
