BUSH WHACKED

by Mark Maxey

wake up turn on the light
slavation is just in sight
tomorrow the revolution begins
atonement for yesterdays sins

beauty and majesty has been lost
words of hope are now sought
to right what has been taken away
we got to change it the only way

jobs lost, debt piles up, we are at war
the eagle has landed but it must soar
higher and higher showing us the path
or history will sever with it's wrath

we have become complacent and don't care
misplaced ideology has laid it's lair
closing us in...it must be a trap
time to pull up the pants and lace the strap

America is our home
changes are due...we must atone
how can the majority vote as it did
as if they had no clue how to bid

I for one won't give up
as a begger man w/one cup
I will plead and plead for intellect
speaking of morals and a chance to collect
what was lost and thrown down
or how we live will become a ghost town

Are you up for the fight?
or are you blinded from the sight?
distracted by the media lies
and if you are
we can kiss our asses goodbye
