Are we on the national brink
Forcing our view of rhetoric
without having the option to rationalize or think
The other side,for better or worse,can only succumb
to their own paranoia and delirium
The darkest smile and an evil grin is easy to point out in the sky
tantalizing each side with a promise of seductive rewards if one
would only PUSH THAT BUTTON
The people(meaning WE)are sitting on the bleachers and rafters
Yelling..GO TEAM GO..HIT THE BASTARDS WE ALL KNOW!
Pomp
Romp
Circumstance
a cheap coy response to a Betrayed Lover of a doomed romance
Power plants
Korean Stance
Nuclear cloud
Tore down that fence
2 leaders
helpless Nation
Armegeddon disintegration
I know the meaning behind the words:FOR BETTER OR WORSE,RICHER OR
POORER,IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH...TIL DEATH DO US PART
A chill and a shivering breeze behind my collar
3,2,1,0..chaotic situation where my ear can hear our scream,the holler
Meanwhile,in the White house..one Leader says to himself:CHECKMATE
Yet,on the other side of the continent..a little but grinning man response with his
NOT SO FAST retaliatory reply
Both Leaders
will not sleep easy tonight
Especially in a cold dark cave without Cilvilization to light it
