America
Where have you gone?
You are the government
Your people are gone
No longer there
       or by the people
Truth is abstract and twisted
        to fit your narrative
Speech is reclassified and censored
       by your minions
To undersatnd you...
I must think and hear the opposite
       of what is said
My home and church
       are no longer my sanctuary
You monitor my prayers and dreams
Cancel them to create a religion
        of your own
To be obeyed
The sun is setting
We are leaderless and disenfranchised
As you play divide and conquer
To maintain and consolidate control
Unity is otherwise
For knowledge would  be found
In the otherwise
Setting the people free
     to come and take its place
At the table of government
     by the people
Again
