As I drank from the goblet of my morning tea A wave of intriguing suspense flushed my cheeks A dash of bravery electrified my skin as I reached for the remote Within a mere matter of seconds the television had sprung to life The very image that had surfaced across the screen Had appeared to be that of a seemingly drunken news anchor The 5 'o clock shadow that grazed his face Seemingly denoted that he had been conquered by insomnia I could detect from his expression That happiness was nonexistent The taste of fear upon his breath Could be sensed worldwide What's this I hear? Government officials laundering money Using their power for personal gain? Ignoring the public? Thank you America for bleeding white A truth that was once unknown A truth damn near impossible to burrow Yet for the government every day is Halloween More and more they continue to kidnap our finances Denting one too many a chasm of bedlams As alive we are eaten by the fangs of avarice While we are beaten across our knees Robbed of every dime we've got Justice kissed the lips of injustice They conceived a daughter and named her Hot Revolver... Bang! Bang! A white flash screamed As it pierced the silence America's heart had just broken... © 2011 (All rights reserved)
