Same Old Same Old

Just as the Roman Empire occupied Palestine in the first century
The Zionist illegal occupation of Palestine renders it a penitentiary

And as Roman citizens cheered in the “circus” as Christians died
So Christian Zionists cheer today’s massacre in the Gaza genocide

And as the Roman Empire diminished under the tyranny of Nero
So Zionists dupe U.S. leaders and devalue the Constitution to zero

And as the Roman Empire utilized its forces to achieve world rule
So Zionists use media, banks, and the law to make the West its fool

And as Nero handily spread lies to Roman citizens to hide his guilt
So Zionists adulterate the Bible to prove their empire must be rebuilt

And as Roman citizens fell prey to lust, debauchery, and immorality
So Zionists seduce the West into chasing dominance over spirituality

And just as the Roman Empire rose to great heights but ultimately fell
So Zionism, as all forms of fascism and tyranny, must wind up in hell
