America the Plentiful - Repost

that love is freedom shared by the willing, is truth we hold to be self-evident, and thus we mold flamboyant bells to ring, declaring ourselves still as relevant; but what remains of dawn’s once early light? so dim the morning, grim, growing hungry, no different than stomachs worn by our own; the Romans once, designed such plans of plight, with soldiers starved and charged wanting to flee, so weary they became - victims in stone; I say I see an empire, fallen, here, repeating mistakes made once long before, but let’s build a new mall, just over there, then send our children to pay with a war; we stupid people, yes I’m included, laughing with love freely changing our mind, are spewing out lies redolent of vile; for all will starve when the grain’s polluted, and all stomachs too, shall hunt with eyes blind, curs-ed be we, embracing denial. 7/30/2016 Submitted for: DENIAL Sponsored by: Julia Ward
