Poem Jan 8, 2011

Thousands of birds fall from the sky
The government deems telling the truth a crime
The State has sanctioned the ability to lie
And people wonder if we are approaching the end of time

A nine year old girl was shot to death
Caught in the crossfire of political rage
The ghosts of end days are given new breath
And it's just another symptom of the digital age

All hail Might King Gold
Just do as you're told
And you'll live to grow old
If you aren't bought and sold

Where is the one that we were promised?
Who would pull the sun across the sky with a team of horses
Have we taken our shot and has the bullet missed?
And from the dark march destruction's forces.

Welcome to a world where basic human rights can be bought
Where the future is for the greedy and the meek inherit naught.
These are the ideals that our children will be taught
Break the rules, make money, and don't get caught.
