No Longer Valid

No Longer Valid A once proud nation now grovels in the sand Liberal emasculation in the mother land No reward for achievement, effort ignored For each lazy American a participation award While one barely feeds his family by working each day Let’s give the one lying on the couch an equal day’s pay No longer valid the value of life Child is butchered by the surgeon’s knife Just bow your head an accept your role While socialist views take their toll No leadership shown to turn back the tide Apathy sold to those along for the ride Integrity gone without leaving a trace Blatant corruption just spit in your face No longer valid incentive denied No freedom of speech, a gag law applied Once universally respected the home of the brave Now a settlement for a new kind of slave Actors and athletes adored by the press Just lie on the couch in a state of undress No moderate leaders, a country cursed No longer valid, America first Traitors are praised while patriots harassed Congressional ethics a thing of the past Liberal repression of opposing views Media no longer reporting unbiassed news Promoting hatred, bigotry and mutual mistrust Demeaning the victim and defend the unjust Political figures not what they seem No longer valid, the American dream Copyright (C) Vince Suzadail Jr. June 2018

No longer valid..' well it would never have been Perfect would it but I know it's a whole lot Worse now Vince look its good to be aware of Danger.. But the feminine safety valve has been Overtightened on society its no good sealing yourself in a concrete chamber and asphixiating To avoid imagined danger..'
