America Bleeding

Democracy’s demons, they follow and stalk for every freedom they strike like a hawk The cost of liberty its downside abides to follow intrepid with vengeance as guide All men here are equal to right and then wrong pursuing their happiness the short and the long Hoping the majority will rule most benign many to suffer from licensed decline Nobility’s tenure its reign has been long but treachery threatens the best of our song Tomorrow in focus the few and the brave must suffer the arrows that seek to enslave And onward we struggle to save what we can as menacing trouble within starts again This fight more than worth it the day is now late America bleeding —our future at stake (The New Room: May, 2022)
