The Day the World Cried Wolf

Behold the new enslavement scheme Some people would compare it to a nightmarish dream They have taken our diginity in this great State Make me beg and despise my own country with hate Taxes in existence is a bold trait To tell us we have to have a cut or decrease is just another political debate Somebody once said nobody in America should be poor But how is that justified when we ship all of our benefits across shore I have yet to awaken my fellow brethern Too busy laboring like dogs to seek retirement Children are so flawed with cell phones; they make great communication tools But how many of these said kids believe in not posting childish antics on fb in school The government has takes our momentum and used it against us Oh no ! I've said to much ..... now they want me to hush I scream and mourn what we have lost in the last 15 years Jobs, housing , education , diginity for mankind, watch lady liberty get brought to tears Im tired of being militant trying to wake people in this naive country up The day you all stop dreaming will be soon with any luck.
