It is horrifyingly apparent,
that this new Rome will fall soon.
The wolves are roaming,
seeking for any weakness,
and we are weakened
by our own lack of alarm.
Some spoke out,
some told of a degenerate culture,
of corruption and disinterest.
Some armed themselves,
but a house divided upon itself
cannot stand for long.
This Republic will disintegrate;
be scattered by ill-winds,
as were all republics before it.
Then we will see at last
the worm in the apple
was none other than us.
Blood marks the score of a finished game
Victory champions over boundless disdain
Prosperous oceans cherish tides of mirth
Tumultuous ties divide; Faith gives birth
Annihilation arrives at a familiar destination
Power ferries the raft of exploitation
Beautiful and spacious eyes reflect
Amber waves of pain can only collect
Reason masquerading as a noble friend
Purpose in the name of glory and pretend
Treasure stolen by a current threat
Past exchanged for a future debt
Battles waged as resistance remains free
Subjugated souls sing their pining plea
All sweet dreams are fated to cease
Unseen Lords pilfer everlasting peace
Mercy requires a beating heart
Capitulation demands a willing part
A realm once known for liberating choice
Here rests a nation, a sea, and a dying voice
We put them in power, and then we do nothing but complain.
No matter what they do,we stare at them with utmost disdain.
We who work and hold America so very dear,
Are not smashing windows in Portland in stolen riot gear.
We do not put criminals up, to bow to nor to behold.
Those cracking this country with destruction, and joy untold.
Some of us do really honor the Red, White and Blue.
We love the USA and all divisiveness, we most heartily eschew!

Only in America the land of the free, you may find men hanging from a tree.Men will cross the border expecting to be free; instead they catch a bullet in the eye or the knee.
Only in America the land of the free, native are slaughtered, and/or driven away from the sea. Men will deliver goods, for trading you see; the men must never speak of the word "we."
Only in America the land of the free, you may be shot in your head, while lying in your bed. Men take babies straight from the womb; crush them with no remorse and have lunch by noon.
Only in America the land of the free, you may sit in your living room , while watching rape and/or murder on a TV. Men will go to clubs just to get laid, women will go to jail if they are paid.
Only in America the land of the free; murderers are licensed, so are the theive's, schools are literally war zones, while children are not allowed to turn on their phones.
Only in America, the land of the free; dogs are more privileged.... than you or me!
You know, they say thou shalt not steal
And thou shalt not kill
But everything that seemed fictional
Has now become real
Send kids overseas
To fix the governments mistake
Guns and bombs exploding
Is how they shall wake
Taking what you can
And looking up to false idols
Giving back broken promises
And livin like supermodels
Changin the words of the Bible
To fit your needs and wants
And destroyin everyone's morals
With you fake publicity stunts
Letting terrorists into our country
Because we're the land of the free
Makin room for illegal immigrants
And havin American residents flee
Everything today is prejudice
And everyone has a certain right
What happened to free speech?
Can I even write this since I'm White?
It all boils down to money
And who is the greater power
But is it really going to matter
When you're down to your final hour?
So keep rewriting the Constitution
And coming up with more laws
To the thieves that are in control
You all deserve an applause
