Revolutions

Round and round, around we go Another speech, another show Lies, half truths, exaggerations Blue blooded cowboys toppling nations Drunk with power, blind to the past Corrupted by greed, right down to the last "We fight for a people, they yearn to be free" So clearly untrue, I must disagree So righteous, so noble. Protecting the weak Black blood of the earth is all that they seek With such words I'm a "traitor", They're quick to condemn Destroying our nation, the traitors are them We try to have faith, though they've taken our voice What good is a vote, when given no choice Now our people divided, our country is torn When hope is forgotten, revolutions are born.

I love this and how you did it. The way politics are and how the country becomes divided is crazy. We should be a country of equality, but that wont happen if politics are continuing to divide us. Great job
