I was bored and the thrall of tripod was too strong for me to resist once again. This site will be very political, and
a lot about my friends as well.
Sorry if this poem offends.
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light... More than half of Americans can't see. They can't see the lives we're
losing, And the lives we're ruining, The money the government is stealing From the poor and giving to the rich. The
only ones that can see Are the ones smothered in smog.
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming... We
used to look up to the flag As a symbol of our freedoms and our rights. It was our ideals that have now Been shot
down and burned. Our ideals thta have been taken By the Patriot Act and arrests for speaking out.
And the rocket's
red glare, the bombs bursting in air... Th bombs have been flying, But this time it wasn't about Americans. This
time we shed American blood for a war That we started with A country that had not attacked us.
Gave proof through
the night, that our flag was still there... The question is: Is our flag still there? The ideals it represents are
dead, And yet we pledge to this piece of cloth. It represents the past, but means nothing To our present or are future. Its
hangs there destryed With its meaning tossed aside.
Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave... It waves
above America As the majority has already turned its back.
O'er the land of the free... No longer free We
are slaves to the lies and fears The government instills in us. We pay for their crimes And are given no other choice.
...And
the home of the brave.
