Corruption

Corruption stagnation 
A lost nation

A warrior creed
Freedom but a seed

Higher ideals
Millions it kills

Distrusted across the globe
Killing combatants with a strobe

War makes millionaires
Turns billionaires into trillionaires 

A gentry class
Proletariat's mast

A tale of two peoples locked in
Democrats and republics political spin

Whites’ hidden hatred 
A majority they dread 

Gives us your poor and humble
Off to war they’ll crumble

America farce extolled 
The citizenry have been rolled
