Under the Umbrella

Under the umbrella
is the illusion in collusion
  about the conclusion
Of the storm

It is here

Leak...LEak...LEAK
     to the tip top peak
         of the American pie

The walls are falling
Babies bawling
   ...fists
           to the Eastern sky

Yelling to the tower
                 WHY!?!

Why won't the eagle fly
Saving souls that lie
   Open, naked, barren
            on the desert floor

              ........the eagle doesn't fly anymore.
