Ripped to Shreds


The charring “Reek of Burning Freedom,” Lee says, is “an anti-war song” that incites to remind its discerning listers of the the United States’ “indiscriminate bombing” campaign waged on North Korea during the Korean War.
bravewords
Twelve thousand pounds of freedom
Falling from the sky
Rain of flaming justice
Salt the earth in vengeance

Freedom measured in cities burned
Democracy reckoned in witch-hunt massacres

Flaming napalm death liberation
Viscous liquid hellfire
Apocalyptic inferno north of the 38th parallel
Callously tallying civilian deaths
Precision bombing of military targets
A hundred innocents murdered for a single soldier
Firebombing of Sinuiju
Razing the city to ashes

Violent intimidation
Every city and village a target

Reek of burning freedom
Stench of flaming corpses
No ground gained nor lost
Another victory for liberty
