Talons Extended

Unlike the first Revolution…
this time we have to take America 
back from within
Like drug and alcohol addiction
we need detox 
and rehabilitation
The traitors and despoilers left
to wither and die
Too many have sacrificed
for the freedoms we take for granted
to abdicate our responsibility
to the lunatic fringe
