The Collapse

I must refrain from wearing a mask of depression, Still retain joy in this deep recession. Give America a reason to be, but I must also decree; that if this world goes under, society must not stumble. But in a dark age of oppression, we must rise up, and make the difficult decisions. To keep the world in disposition, to rise up and recondition. In this new world government, we must rebuild. Reconstruct and regain tranquility, rather then passing new bills for these new issues that arrived because of thee. We must amalgamate, to create an environment that is suitable. For the future of the commonwealth, retire these decrepit values, upon which this country was propagated. In order for this earth to burgeon, the earth’s population must reconciliate. Any being, man or women, any race abiding within our communal purlieus. For these reasons I must ask the world to not accept the future, but instead make a change to better it. Hopefully society will never relapse, and cause another fatal collapse.
