Tic Tok
The tower of Babel built by a godless agency,
A nation’s strength weakened by a discord of voices.
Laws constructed to protect the honorable and worthy,
Diminished by minutes discarded as ridiculous choices.
A visible pattern of calculated slaughter and demise,
Of a Democracy turned inward becoming socialistic.
Gains corrupted by the narcissist and bombastic unwise,
Time marking the decay of the wise political mystic.
The journey from revolution to present made irrelevant,
Disrespect brought upon those lost to bombs and grenades.
Disgrace brought upon the honorable Arlington’s valiant,
The seconds tick by as the scorned constitution fades.
Leaders determined cocooned vanities personal dissent,
Promised goals marred through unethical self indulgence.
Of the people and by the people united once prevalent,
Controlled by the media as a East or West face defense.
Breaking the country, deans of corporation manipulate,
Employees keep their jobs secure in resigned resolution.
Votes once individual title now company compensate,
Timely hand trained teams convince a united conclusion.
Once a land of opportunity and a right to win or fail,
Has become the land of disarray and lost sacred pride ideal.
Speech now guarded as war on terrorism puts one in jail,
Days of respect in citizenship gone delusional and surreal.
Foreign agents free to infiltrate as lobbyist and lawyers,
Willful intent to take back lands long ago predicted.
Accepting burning flags, one of many national destroyers,
Oh people of Babel flaunting God, eons ago, the Bible edicted.
A nation’s strength weakened by a discord of voices.
Laws constructed to protect the honorable and worthy,
Diminished by minutes discarded as ridiculous choices.
A visible pattern of calculated slaughter and demise,
Of a Democracy turned inward becoming socialistic.
Gains corrupted by the narcissist and bombastic unwise,
Time marking the decay of the wise political mystic.
The journey from revolution to present made irrelevant,
Disrespect brought upon those lost to bombs and grenades.
Disgrace brought upon the honorable Arlington’s valiant,
The seconds tick by as the scorned constitution fades.
Leaders determined cocooned vanities personal dissent,
Promised goals marred through unethical self indulgence.
Of the people and by the people united once prevalent,
Controlled by the media as a East or West face defense.
Breaking the country, deans of corporation manipulate,
Employees keep their jobs secure in resigned resolution.
Votes once individual title now company compensate,
Timely hand trained teams convince a united conclusion.
Once a land of opportunity and a right to win or fail,
Has become the land of disarray and lost sacred pride ideal.
Speech now guarded as war on terrorism puts one in jail,
Days of respect in citizenship gone delusional and surreal.
Foreign agents free to infiltrate as lobbyist and lawyers,
Willful intent to take back lands long ago predicted.
Accepting burning flags, one of many national destroyers,
Oh people of Babel flaunting God, eons ago, the Bible edicted.
