Nisei

Anesthetized constitution,
Demoralized contribution;
Righteous inconsistency-
Wrong-doers frequency.

Subliminal conflab,
Criminal back stab;
Caseless quarrels-
Faceless morals.

Psychedelic legislation,
Humanity disintegration;
Tormented composure-
Indecent exposure.

Respect annihilation,
Sacramented violation;
Varnished illusion-
Tarnished delusion.

Armed paraphernalia,
Strung up genitalia;
Mouthed truths, clamped-
Sealed lies, stamped.

Commune travesty,
Immune amnesty;
Synthetic jurisdiction-
Pathetic contradiction.

Vengeful retribution,
Carnaged institution;
Marred government, lineated-
A nation, desecrated

Interesting piece, but why is it called Nisei?

Hi Mark, I called it 'Nisei' for it means Second Generation. We should be progressing, but we're not. Thank you for reading!
