The Demise of our Sovereignty |
The American Eagle has Died He was tattered and worn as he landed His once majestic plumes hung as segregated tufts His crest was nothing but a leathered puff of fringe Once an aerialist of vision, his eyes were wet and matted This noble navigator of a nations head now bobbed limply Within his eyes he shared a glimpse of the travesties he witnessed His perch upon this mount tells the tale of monstrosities of our realm This regal symbol of a great nation lays battered before us At no other time in history has a sovereign emblem been so endangered The malicious enemy of poison comes from within We have become a society of one with our own individual agenda Instead of embracing our unity as a country. as our great bird signified We tear each other apart at each opportunity We let prejudice or our fear of prejudice control our actions We have tarnished this icons image through selfishness Once a dominion steeped in charity and promotion of the commonwealth This dying bird represents the multitude of children that lie dying in our streets This weak warrior displays the hunger of every American child bedded without food We worry about other countries when the need is here at our door step The eagle has seen us denigrate our protectors of freedom while burning a flag He has witnessed with indignation our abuse of our men and women in blue The ace pilot of the air is no longer allowed to bow his head in honor of God We have stolen from our youth the ability to hope and work toward a future Consequences for our actions and responsibility have been wiped away This American Eagle is no longer allowed to stand proud The beautiful flier of yesterday now lies before all of us at deaths door Let us rise together as a nation, to be what we once were and can be again { |
