oh one

oh twenty one

oh two four

oh two four

again

winds denied our sails

for few suspended moments

this country

our country un-united

felled failed fell

gone was the securities

taken for granted

ignorantly assuming

all is ok

we were not

the perfect union our

alt-realities concealed

looking so pretty

in misguided eye

tasting abridged freedom

hearing only that song

hummed internally

mom    apple pie    baseball

see the usa in a chevrolet

god bless america

such perfect picture painted

in perfect broad stroke

engineered    executed

perfectly so

the invincible

the champion

on wounded knees

overcome with dis-belief

we had lost

our freedom plural

the oppressor

wins the first battle

every time

democracy 

not the exception

1st amendment

written

guaranteed

protected

1st law written

as law

for republic

as one

for all

religion

speech

press

assembly

address grievances

man words

man promises

shattered

cast aside

stand for right

stand for your rights
