A Deadly Love

Inspired by Otep - "Crooked Spoons" about the world's love for violence.

What goes up must come down, we built her up now she's crumbling away in the ugliness of it all, as the world drowns in a never-ending sea of greed and violence. And the symptoms are visible....and we are trapped into submission but go on with our lives sanitized in the bloody pools of excuses hiding from the truth. A problem within society's walls. Succumbing to a mouthful of poision, a government feeds - "submit or be a traitor".  

 

The colors of Old Glory bleeding on every country's doorstep. For greed. For freedom...Red for the blood of the innocent. White for the lies being fed just so we can stay silent in the mist of it all. Blue for the tears Lady Liberty sheds for her own.

 

War rages on in the house of white. Like gladiators, fighting in a battle of wits with their mighty swords of excuses from their tongue. Empty promises of change never to see the light of day in the surrounding misery, but life goes on for the normal.

 

America's dream. America's destiny. America's fate.

The American dream.
