Revolution

The people started marching
they came from everywhere 
Armed with words of freedom 
revolution in the air

They joined in every corner 
across their precious land
They all agreed the time had come
they had to take a stand

The country was divided 
and teetered on the edge
Of losing its democracy 
betraying its own pledge 

It used to be a beacon
an oasis in the sand
Desired by so many 
its shores a freedom land

But tyranny had taken hold
at stake, democracy 
People knew intangibles 
never came for free

And so from many, there was one
it was the day and hour
They came to show the watching world 
the people have the power

I think America like Britain is on the brink of all out war with itself.
