Broken [August 7, 2015]

The world is broken

Filled with fear and regret

Everyone stands here choking

As the leaders demand respect

 

The government is broken

As they lay down law

They stand here like an omen

Of the death and demise to follow

 

Glass shatters, castles crumble

Armies of vengeance pummel

The leaders hide before the struggle

Here they stand, hear them tremble

 

Trembling before the might of the people

As the leaders run from the trouble

They take away freedom and liberty

With their evil power, they chuckle

As people before them stumble

 

Broken and shattered, they stand strong

Fearless and courageous, they still fight

Decaying and dying, they throw away their lives

In the name of their leaders, here they still die

 

The soldiers fight for honor and victory

As the leaders fill their goblets with misery

Their families bathe in the filth of subjugation

As the people stand under the power of oppression

 

The day will arrive, when judgment will come

When the people can once again stand strong

For the world is broken, filled with fear and regret

As the leaders stand here, demanding respect
