The Decline of America

You see it everywhere The unmistakable signs That the decline of America Is in full swing As the world leaders turn away From dealing with the US And we have gone past the tipping point There is nowhere left to go But downward As the Empire begins to collapse Victim of imperial overreach Like all empires before The DC metro on a good day Is a broken-down remnant Of a once proud system The future of mass transit Its proponents said The cost of rebuilding America mounts And our politicians are afraid That it will costs trillions of dollars Just to prevent the US from collapsing Into third world irrelevance We have the world’s most expensive military A million dollars per missile And yet we can’t find the money To provide decent health care for all Bombs, and tax cuts for the wealthy Are the only things That the Republicans care about And the world looks in amazement At the clown boy President As he struts about Looking more and more Like some Banana Republic President for life With his family grabbing as much loot As they can From the federal government Before the coming revolution Overthrows them When did we start this decline? Some say 1960s started it Others say Nixon’s to blame Others claim that it was Carter’s fault Or Saint Reagan’s fault Or the other boy President GW Bush Or Obama the fake American’s fault Does it really matter All I know Is the America I knew The can do anything country The country that went to the moon Is alas no more And I morn for our lost liberties Our lost sense of purpose Our lost sense that America Was the last great hope of Mankind And still I wonder Can America be made great again? As our President Trump proclaims The end times approaches Nuclear war is talked about Another missile crisis And instead of JFK leading the country We have Donald John Trump The one and only The greatest con man To ever get elected And I fear the end is in sight As America begins its decline The right claims that the left has started it And the left claims that the right has started it And both sides claim that the civil war Is inevitable Or will we embrace a progressive future With an economy that works for all I have no answer It seems the end is coming Sooner than we think As Emperor Trump leads us Down a dark, strange dangerous path And so, it goes The decline of empires And I pray That I may survive The end of times
