The States Folly

A poem on how I see our government today. Hope you enjoy.

As guns fire men fall 

One country United for one and all 

We look to our leaders for the answer 

But see nothing but men saying this is cancer 

What's the cure 

Our country is no longer pure 

Blood runs in the streets 

Like a pipe that leaks 

Where is this countries salvation

For there are men with terrible motivation 

Marching to the west 

But surely our leaders are doing their best 

I wonder if this was the plan all along 

A nation singing different songs

Causing the fall to our prosperity 

When our constitution preaches solidarity
