PATRIOT Poem
my country tis of me
for “thee” has gone astray
schoolyard bully
berating, belittling
demanding, destroying
like Kong run amok in Manhattan
swatting at flies
with billion dollar hammers
injecting fear into society
like some demented opiate
monstrous system
deluded, feeding on itself
drunk with power
sapping taxing squandering
our lives and wealth to death
enslaving us
in our own ignorance
my country tis of me
for “thee” has gone astray
schoolyard bully
berating, belittling
demanding, destroying
like Kong run amok in Manhattan
swatting at flies
with billion dollar hammers
injecting fear into society
like some demented opiate
monstrous system
deluded, feeding on itself
drunk with power
sapping taxing squandering
our lives and wealth to death
enslaving us
in our own ignorance
from "Power Outage" kc2009
