Protest

the 60's and 70's
a blur of confusion
death was always near
the end of the quiet
the start of the loud
assassinations!
spit on the soldiers 
riots in the streets
nothing has changed
except now the overly pampered 
protest over nothing


Government

Government Predilations

Into Covert Mind Control Hallucinations

Creating Manchurian Candidate Manifestations

Leading to JFK RFK And MLK Assassinations 

Which are Explicit Abominations

To Be Enacted on God's Creations 

But With The Subtle Changing of The Conversations

They Have Subdued any Interest in These Situations

United

‘I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,’ 
Where elephants and donkeys in the media prompt hysteria, 
‘And to the Republic for which it stands,’ 
Devotion lies in political assassinations if one doesn’t comply or withstand, 
‘One Nation under God,’
Whilst following religious law and trading faith for facade, 
‘Indivisible,’
Indefensible, 
‘With liberty and justice for all,’
With negligence for protocol.

Distant Thunder

We were there,
  but we weren’t

We took part,
  and we didn’t

There was war,
  with all affected

There was death,
  and some objected

There was music,
  we got lost in

Assassinations,
  left us frozen

Alienation,
  drove us inward

Graduation,
  for beginners

Half a century,
  now forgotten

Ten short years,
  in time begotten

Raged a storm,
  of hope and wonder

Alive today,
 —a distant thunder
