Watch our Nation Burn

They view the world through rifle sites

complicit in their lies

Rigging the next election race

when gold falls from their skies

Hysterics and conspiracies 

Parades of lunatics

Placating to the ignorant 

Yellow press fanatics 

Sucking billions from the coffers

Tax haven unfair trade

Double digit interest rates

Where con men have it made 

Deals and whispers in the chamber 

A crime that's never seen 

Snatching candy from a nation 

destroying all our dreams

Decisions made in higher courts

by unelected men 

A principled democracy 

subverted once again 

Send our work to other nations 

Denied a living wage 

left to toil in obscurity 

A new world order slave

The game is rigged against us

A point of no return 

We can sit by the Potomac 

and watch our nation burn 

Author's Note

For those who were paying attention you know the tea party inspired "operation American spring" was an epic fail. As much as I knew it would be even I was surprised by how bad their turnout was. Despite my opinion of the Tea party to be a pack of rubes funded by the Koch brothers to further their own insanely far right agenda I found operation American spring's total failure to be disappointing. Even our far right crazies can't be bothered to rally anymore. We the people suffer from apathy of the worst sort and I believe nothing short of a Revolution is going to change the direction this Nation's been heading since Reagan was in office. A nation of concentrated wealth, unlimited corporate control and a massive underclass dimmed down by misinformation and trite entertainment. The "bread and circus'' of the 21st century
