State of the Union

State of emergency

People shuffling

Filling the room in urgency

Death money power

The crowd erupts

Claps growing louder

Clutch your pearls

Feign shock and horror

When your leader shouts his orders

Behind closed doors masks fall away

Reptilian eyes, razor sharp fangs

A dollar for an eye, exchanges made

Their swollen pockets shall stay that way

Plot plan kill plunder

Thunderous applause sounds

Countless lives torn asunder

Drink up drink up

With all their might

The blood of the young keeps skin tight

Hear one hear all

He’s answered the call

Oh mighty leader

How hard you will fall

Run scatter

Lurk and hide in your shadows

For the just and almighty

Wickedness is but a small matter

The sun will rise

As darkness fades

Our land of peace

A sight for sore eyes
