Art of compromise
Non-existent in our world

Homeland
Hate for this word runs deep,
Ominous…reminiscent of the Nazis.
Men’s cruelty at its worst…
Even now I shiver at the thought.
Luther never dreamed of it in his day.
America, are we on the path to radical nationalism?
Never has there been a more dangerous thing,
Deutschland’s history…I pray it never repeats.

The Disenfranchised
The disenfranchised
Looking to be powerful
Radicalism
Hopelessness and poverty
Feed this fast spreading cancer
Where does the blame lie
In the laps of governments
Religious fervor
Perhaps in weakness of mind
Our duty–cure the root cause
.

Consternation Kills
Consternation kills;
Turning inward the faint heart,
Swallowing them whole.
Such is the fear mongers goal,
To scare the masses to death.
≈
Played time and again,
Fear worse than reality,
Still we never learn.
There is great strength in numbers
If we’d only stand as one.

Its Hard to Believe
Its hard to believe that it is but a short dozen years
A dozen years since this world changed
Changed a nation and its ideals
The ideals founded on a promise gave way to extremism
An extremism not so unlike that of the terrorist
The terrorist has taken away our freedoms
Our freedom to assemble, our right to privacy
Privacy is a thing of the past taken away by our government
Our government says they must take it to protect us
Protect us from whom, who will protect us from them is the question
Questioning however, is taken as unpatriotic
Unpatriotic! This is our right and our duty as citizens
Citizens who have become nothing but pawns
Pawns to governmental corruption and big business
Business’ who are now treated as citizens by the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court who was supposed to keep the executive and legislative in check have let us down
Down are path I fear is collapsing
Collapsing with each step we take down the road
A road, one way, on which their is no return
Oh…to return our moral compass to true
Truly that would be our greatest strength
Strength of character, morals, of humanity that we so long ago lost
Lost to our greed, selfishness and intolerance
Intolerance for ourselves, other nations, other ideals
Ideals that were long deceased before September 11, 2001
September 11, 2001 was just another nail
A nail in a coffin already occupied
Occupied but not inescapable if we would try
Try to resurrect the intentions of our founding fathers
Fathers far wiser than the lot of thieves currently in office
Offices held by both parties
Parties that no longer represent the people
A people that deserve better
Better than to live without freedom, in oppression and under tyranny
