Following the Dissolution of the Union

I remember my childhood in the good ol' USA Fireworks at the lakefront every Independence Day But that all was concluded twenty years ago today The Union was dissolved It simply was decided we could live toge'r no more No armies took to battlefields, there was no Civil War You'd think the dream so spoken of would be worth fighting for But the Union was dissolved Former states combined and formed alliances anew Some banners wave above in Red and others fly the Blue That the Stars and Stripes would last forever ne'er could it be true So the Union was dissolved Some abolished taxes and declared abortion banned Established Christianity the faith of all their land They placed their trust in Jesus and the Invisible Hand When the Union was dissolved Others turned their economies over to the State Said they'd guarantee equality and put an end to hate Imagine all the dreamers thinking wouldn't it be great When the Union is dissolved Nary a former state now has a strong economy Most of their resources go to field their own army Twenty years removed and hardly anyone is free 'Cause the Union was dissolved June 5, 2017
