A Republic Crumbles

A looted treasury
And a Government stumbles
With heavy deficit
A Republic crumbles

A country failing
So a State rebels
Another follows
Revolution swells

A Liberal failure
And Conservative disaster
Two parties serving
A Federal master

A people divided
A Police State grows
More and more taxes
So rebellion arose

The States are separate
And can choose a course
Even when facing
A Federal force

The force is of dollars
Thrown their way
A carrot on a stick
To be pulled away

Homes are taken
Jobs disappear
This Federal monster
Is something to fear

Politicians do nothing
Not doing their job
They just sit in the Congress
No more than a mob

This system in failure
Need be torn down
And State rights restored
Before we all drown

An abusive Uncle
Sam is his name
His nieces and nephews
Just pawns in his game

He forces his will
And is grabbing for power
So our love for our Uncle
Is now bitter and sour

This Federal relatives
Cost is too steep
We can no longer afford
To let the blind lead the sheep

Serviceman's Heart

A Soldier stands by
And lets out a sigh
As he ponders his orders received

He watches the lines
His Commander designs
But he questions if he's been deceived

He's given his oath
But loyal to both?
His heart being torn in two

He must follow his orders
And watch foreign borders
And he still wonders what he should do

As his oath is his word
Is his honor deferred?
His heart continues in turmoil

What should he follow
His chest aching hollow
Has duty turned into just toil?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Seaman works on
His resolve almost gone
The values he swore to uphold

His mind is now clouded
His purpose now shrouded
As he must always do as he's told

Why is he here?
Is there real fear?
The questions are filling his head

Has justice been stifled?
Has honor been trifled?
Should duty be something to dread?

Has he given up choice?
Is he allowed no voice?
Where do his loyalties lay?

His shoulders now droop
In a prisoner's stoop
Yet with his life he was willing to pay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An Airman looks back
Her commitment an act
She's troubled by what she feels

Who do we serve...
On this zig-zagging curve?
She asks of her God as she kneels

Her skills she did hone
So she could pilot a drone
To deliver the death requested

Who ordered me, this?
She prays for a miss
Her faith in her God to be tested

Many questions are thought
Her answers are naught
Though she signed when she heard the call

The rights that she quitted
She has finally admitted
Has caused her faith to fall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three to a one
Thought they'd have fun
Fighting for their land

But with honor depleted
And Americans cheated
It gets harder to take a stand

Yet, in the Oval Room
Sits the man of Doom
A tempest heading his way

He keeps his head down
Hiding his frown
While directing his own little play

And we know he can see
The confusion of three
That were willing to give up their lives

For they are the force
That need a true course
If they are to use their knives

They pledged to no man
They care not who ran
The Constitution is their Light

The President may command
But it's the People who demand
That the Document Governs our might.

Us Versus Us

The lines have been drawn
As we're easy to con
So, Americans have chosen their side


The liberals on the left
With self worth bereft
Have let Washington use their pride


Conservatives lean right
Having lost sight
Their individual values subverted


And both argue their case
Most based on race
So their causes are being perverted


A Tea Party forms
Outside of the norms
We wondered what they are


We see no need for concern
We just watch and we learn
And believe that they won't get far


But the Tea sellers got seated
Right and Left were defeated
So now Congress must drink some Tea


The cooperation of two
Was hard enough to do
And now that number is three


Washington has failed
Its job derailed
Too many cooks can spoil the soup


Now it's the peoples' job
To stop acting the mob
And calm down and try to regroup


Our Constitution's been thwarted
Our rights being shorted
Our goal must be that of one


For if we back down
It is we who will drown
Under threat of a Federal gun


The Constitutional conerstone
That our rights we won't loan
No matter what the threat


Our rights are our shield
That gives strength to not yield
That truth we must never forget


The Feds keep on trying
To keep rights from applying
As they consolidate all power


We can't see the Fed's plan
With our heads in the sand
While they look down from their tower


It's our time to stand tall
And for the obelisk to fall
For Americans to take a stance


We must go to great lengths
And combine all of our strengths
To quit leaving our future to chance.

The Eagle

The legend's an old one
The purpose a bold one
As the Good and the Evil still war

But the battle's the same
It's still freedom we claim
And our rights we yearn to restore

Our God given rights
The base of our fights
The Eagle has snatched in it's claws

Due process a lack
In The Patriot Act
The hated Destroyer of laws

It's needed they say
With your rights you must pay
Our Homeland is under attack

We can see that it's so
But they think we don't know
It's the Eagle performing the sack

Our airports are seized
And the cowards are pleased
That the Eagle controls our sky

A new kind of protection
And terror detection
Powers the Eagle to fly

The wings cover light
It's a soul chilling sight
To those who are willing to see

That the Eagle has grown
And eats the seeds that we've sown
It's now deaf to our inalienable plea

Liberty blossomed from seeds
Where now there's just weeds
In fields that were plowed with our blood

The Eagle flies around
While we are earthbound
And our Constitution is trampled in mud

We will continue to battle
As we're not timid cattle
Fit only for the slaughter

Our rights can't be taken
The Eagle is mistaken
And our country has started to totter

For it's the People who rule
And if the Eagle's no fool
He will start to act with some care

That Great Bird of Prey
Will hear what we say
Or else be shot from the air

The Congress and POTUS
The Senate and SCOTUS
Can consider themselves being warned

Lest they forget
Their jobs come with debt
And these angry cattle are horned

Pyramid of the Sun

The Cradle of History
In Egypt falls
Freedom and Democracy!
Are the citizen's calls.

Museums looted,
Artifacts lost
Just sitting and watching,
Despite all the cost?

One Nobel Laureate
Pleads with another
Please help win freedom
Please help us my Brother

The King of Hope
The Lord of Change
Does nothing but watch
He is out of his range.

Us American people
Why don't we help?
Instead we just sway
A forest of kelp.

Cairo's awoken
The streets now ablaze
A Presidential silence
Just a Political maze.

Mr President, what's wrong?
Just make a choice!
The Egyptians have spoken,
With Democracy's voice!

You sit there idle,
Confused and afraid
The Pharoh's time's up
He's dues to be paid.

Egyptians are the caretakers
Of all the World's past
Is is not time
To help them at last?

Democracy calls
In the streets full of crowds
They await Us Americans
To help move these dark clouds

You sit on your hands
A Presidential hedge
While the Egyptian people
Stand on a ledge

So stand up and offer
Our American Might!
For once I just ask you,
Can we do what is right?

Egyptians are calling
For freedom from fear
And still you do nothing,
You refuse to hear.

Yes, Americans are divided
Yet we are strong and just
And when Freedom sings out
We will do what we must!

Help Egypt's peoples
Earth's History Nest
The people want Liberty
That which we know best.

Obamanite Sheeple

Call me Ms Democrat
A liberal deflector
My true agenda
Is Obama protector

Truth has no meaning
To us Obamanites
Deflecting the facts
Is within my rights

Where was he born?
You want to ask
Ridiculing birthers
Is my real task

I have no need
To know the facts
No matter the documents
That Hawaii lacks

I'm an Obamanite
Right to the core
It's so easy for us
To create a new lore

We need only shout
From rooftops and stages
Confusing the issue
For truth has few gauges

The truth only matters
For political gains
The truth doesn't matter
For us with no brains

Just shut up you birthers
You right leaning people
You cant yell over us
The Obamnite sheeple

We believe! We believe!
The Messiah has come!
The truths over-rated
It helps that were dumb!

So, if you are going to
Hunt for his papers
Good luck on that
For the trail is just vapors

Liberal Gold

My name is Libby
Good news today
I'm a leftist believer
I've no need to pray

'Cause there's Gold for me
I just sign that form
It's cash from your taxes
That keeps me warm

I can have my kids
At no cost to me
'Cause you pay for them
All I want are free

And I been birthing 'em
Most all my life
Who cares about Love?
Don't wanna be no wife

So my kids many Daddies
Don't live here now
'Cause if they did
It'd kill my cash cow

I get my food card
from a Government lady
She says, "No worries child"
"It's legal, not shady."

And I can go to the doctor
When babies nose is running
Cost me nothing again
Nah, I ain't funning

They give me medicine
For my child's cold
But I got some cash for it
More Government Gold

I just give it to
My this week's man
He gives me money
I like this plan

So, I buy my boys
A Rapping CD
Songs about killing?
No bother to me

My boys gotta learn
The way of that street
'Cause they get nothing
From America's teat

But they can always do
Some of that Big House time
Then they get something
On  Uncle Sam's dime

But two of my boys
Didn't make it that far
Got shot in the street
Trying to jack them a car

It ain't no fair
That I gotta bury my boys
They just only wanted
Some working man's toys

Now my boy's burials
Didn't cost me a thing
I got more of your money
And I sold my boys' bling

But I still gots my girls
I feel lucky with that
Cause two of my girls
Is all pregnant and fat

That really just means
More Gold for me
I taught my girls how
As you all can see

They signed and got me
More Gold and a food card
Why in the world
Does any women work hard?
