As America Burns

Gone is the beauty that once cast softened shadows along the land held fast. Gone are the beaches blown in sand away as continual flames are fanned. Gone is the promise of freedom, laid upon the pathway and its deeds where blood and heroes, truth and integrity once more bleeds. America who are you now amid the air so thick and acrid What dreams and promises do you still hold sacred? Footsteps erased by time and greed ruled by liars and deniars of truth and its beliefs who lives to restore our integrity? Gone lost to history, honesty, honor, praise and acclamation the hope and dreams of a once-rising strong nation. Shadows now appear to be, all that remains what is lost, what have you gained? America still within the burning embers what legacy will be remembered?
