Patriot Act

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Though I lead a new tomorrow

With a pioneer's resolve

I find that Someday I still follow

In its footsteps of the settler's

Beaten paths of sorrow

Tread upon by kings of old

Who tear my flag to tatters

As they colonize my soul

Then rip my constitutions up

In favor fortunes stoled

Profiting from trails we blaze

Through fields of labor slaves

Which begs the question arms to raise

And manifests my destiny

In fifty shades of Shay's

No more to pave the streets I've seen

All walks of life share brave and free

Dead-ended by the God machine

Whose forked-road tongues divide these signs

To boulevards of broken dreams

Yes this is where we will declare

The carnage of the despot's sword

To common man's, can not compare

The power of the people's word

Is any tyrant's worst nightmare

So wall us up in torture cells

You can't contain our minds

Abort the right to wedding bells

Love, like truth, can not be killed

By pockets full of shells

Unloaded in a hail of liar

Mass control of information

Molotov cocktails conspire

To stockpile human lives

To serve the evil empire

As storm troopers deployed

To combat the invasion

Of the aliens employed

By the Death Star super weapons

That will leave all worlds destroyed

When the facts are sold as fictions

That the junkies overdose on

As they pay for these afflictions

No one covers in this system

They just feed zombie addictions

That divide us into factions

In this race of arming fear and hate

With masterful distractions

Misconstruing civil wars

With patriotic actions
