The Emphatic Declaration

Try to bully or inspire with fear
Has the opposite effect

Strong arm the truth
You will get what you fail to prove

Evolution in groups-
Decadence under tiny roofs

Flags pledge allegiance
To themselves

The real, phantasm, and never was
through a bold television empire

Heres hoping they (we) come from couches
To rebuild the throne
