Parachute Effect

Tear away the political stagnance,
Tear away the rich incompetence,

Peel away the high society,
Peel away the fake sobriety,

Pull apart the bricks and buildings,
Pull apart lustrous families and siblings.

Take off the cover that shielded the truth,
The poverty in America of the old and the youth.

Let the lies continue to collect,
reveal the truth, the parachute effect.
