We the People
Failing, falling, sinking
Into the vortex of lies
Are nations succumbing
To their own demise.
Blinded by rhetoric,
Intoxicated malaise,
Due collapse is so tragic
Spelled in coming days.
Of the few in power
There is no one of worth,
As pedestals of terror
Desire to own the earth.
Where are the brave, we ask
Those who stand for truth,
The noble who will unmask
Vile Deception's fruit.
Are we the brave now blind?
Are we the noble deaf?
Will we cower in fear to find
Of our freedom, nothing's left?
