You see it everywhere
The unmistakable signs

That the decline of America 
Is in full swing

As the world leaders turn away
From dealing with the US 

And we have gone past the tipping point
There is nowhere left to go
But downward 

As the Empire begins to collapse
Victim of imperial overreach
Like all empires before

The DC metro on a good day
Is a broken-down remnant 
Of a once proud system

The future of mass transit 
Its proponents said

The cost of rebuilding America mounts 
And our politicians are afraid
That it will costs trillions of dollars

Just to prevent the US from collapsing 
Into third world irrelevance

We have the world’s most expensive military
A million dollars per missile 

And yet we can’t find the money
To provide decent health care for all

Bombs, and tax cuts for the wealthy
Are the only things 
That the Republicans care about

And the world looks in amazement
At the clown boy President

As he struts about 
Looking more and more 
Like some Banana Republic
President for life

With his family grabbing as much loot
As they can
From the federal government

Before the coming revolution
Overthrows them

When did we start this decline? 
Some say 1960s started it
Others say Nixon’s to blame

Others claim that it was Carter’s fault
Or Saint Reagan’s fault

Or the other boy President GW Bush
Or Obama the fake American’s fault

Does it really matter
All I know 
Is the America I knew

The can do anything country
The country that went to the moon
Is alas no more

And I morn for our lost liberties
Our lost sense of purpose

Our lost sense that America 
Was the last great hope of Mankind

And still I wonder
Can America be made great again?
As our President Trump proclaims

The end times approaches
Nuclear war is talked about

Another missile crisis
And instead of JFK leading the country
We have Donald John Trump

The one and only
The greatest con man 
To ever get elected

And I fear the end is in sight
As America begins its decline

The right claims that the left has started it 
And the left claims that the right has started it

And both sides claim that the civil war 
Is inevitable


Or will we embrace a progressive future
With an economy that works for all

I have no answer 
It seems the end is coming
Sooner than we think

As Emperor Trump leads us
Down a dark, strange dangerous path

And so, it goes
The decline of empires

And I pray 
That I may survive
The end of times
