Of Some Mad American Empire I

Of some mad American empire 
were Angels rage in the suicidal age
Of TV stars and failed billionaires 
Upstart demagogues tyrannical 
Wanta-bes who rule with lies on knees of glass
And feet of tin, and rings of fools-gold
tiny fists bleed tiny tears Infamy 
Schemes with in schemes
Orange rage racism raw ragged 
and blasphemy of science
 idolize idiocracy 
A mad American empire teetering on oblivion 
In TVs and multimedia social society 
Of Markets and networking divisions 
Evangelist blind screaming for an idol falsely 
Bluebirds flutter flocks like ravens 
A murder of crows Die in the lite of truth 
The truth is a matter of opinion obsession 
False diversions a fractured nation
A false god a false profit beloved by narrow-minded illiterate ill-rational idiots
Idolize inept and ignorant orange 
God, a false divinity 
Raging lies in tin crowns 
an overgrown tyrant 
a little king without armor 
a fool With bloody hands 
smeared mascara eyeliner drowned 
Blood and horror a mad American empire 
were Angels rage suicidal age
Of faded TV stars gluttonous billionaires 
Upstart demagogues 
tyrannical nights of thousand lights
Mega-phone preacher of a new order 
Make America some mad empire 
Wanta-bes who rule 
with lies and tyrannical deeds 
knees of glass bleed oil orange fire
feet of glass things of fools-gold
Tiny fists clutch paper crowns
tiny tears Infamy a crocodiles lear
Schemes within and schemes without 
rape of queens, dreamers teetering on oblivion
orange racism ragged raw 
wall falls halls echo lies and false fantasies 
blasphemy of science, idiocracy , supremacy 
Drooling fools, magaits burrow in
Some mad American empire...
