The Fall
The signs all read south
Beneath a cannibal
Who shoots off at the mouth
Suffocate in silence
Because none bear witness
To the voracious violence
Entombed in innocence
We were the last to believe
Even amid such insolence
Eight years erased
With glee by a tyrant
Leaving a legacy defaced
The bald eagle has broken wings
No longer able to take flight
And Uncle Sam solemnly sings
But anything that shall rise
Will one day fall
An American Dream left brutalized
