Fatalist America
Broken trust brings a nation’s end.
The Elite lie as we wash their feet.
We tried discourse with unwilling men;
We can’t agree on what is seen.
A great nation brought to the edge,
To the edge of the abyss.
All because of what they said
Of the people that resist.
People say “let the nation rest
In the grave of history.”
All because of what they read
Of lies called a “News Story.”
People help bring in her death.
“Division is the way to peace.”
Enemies cheer on when they see
Our suicidal fantasies.
