United Kingdom of America by ~affirmation:iconaffirmation:



Drugs kill and we get high on shooting,
Exploit the radical dreams of liberation and sell their slogan:
What may have once been ideal, is now a brainwashed opinion,
Fed to the motionless actors in the crucifixion theatrics:
Curtains fall, but blind eyes cannot deny the screams of justified judgemental.

Treat the symptom of the human condition,
Ignorance shields from individual interception,
Like-minded and idly grazing, their grass isn’t as green so we are above them.
Ask the dealer to deal us love, he replies, “That’s not something you can afford,”
Junkie trades his soul as Passion murders the Romantic.

Empires fall and empires rebuild, on the tail of an inferno, callous wind,
Dissect the leader and feed him to the starving and the poor,
Retrograde sets in, as revolution drums its beat through needy veins,
Submissive rebels spun on a corporate wheel,  
Freedom is the frost on the breast of the decaying eagle.

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

"Retrograde sets in, as revolution drums its beat through needy veins"

very interesting in line to write now as mars is in retrograde and americas elections are something of a revolution now with the diverse field of candidates.

"now I'll go all Sephiorth on America's ass."
DAMN sephiroth is annoying in KH

Anyway...
I like the point you're trying to make in this; it's the truth. If there are guns, people will get shot. Ignorance is bliss to most: "If i don't think about it, it won't happen/ that's never going to happen to MY child" etc.

Being a halfbreed, I was intrigued by the title and was expecting something along the lines of The The's 'Heartland' , but all I got was a damn fine piece of writing.
