Obama's Burning Place

Cities suffocating, left for dead Under a fire, where jobless smoke drifts But, goverment grows itself and mingles with " An American dream" now called myth Shouting louder and louder Once were the township criers About unqualified figure, to those who kept ignoring 2008 political ignitions, now out of control, his wildfires Scorching, his cancers of a man both black and white A underlineing racist as he always runs toward night And his flaming hatred continues to spread As Americans still suffering keep turning their heads Ruling class of liberal leftist and some rhino Republican politicians Don each a smiling mask Their policies corroding spread about malious As our lives left with more of its bitter task These hands of those we chose, choking way Our liberties hour after hour and day by day To an existence within this nation's former grace Once, where freedom rang Now, smolders Obama’s burning place And Romney will only slow its pace
