Today I was reminded of America's greatness. The greatness that is truly just an idea. The greatness that is truly fickle. Fickle enough to be crushed by a mouse's nibble. That a caricature could become the leader of the free world. Indeed, the world will see how free we will be. I was reminded that we are mentally enslaved. To a media onslaught that trains us how to behave. We are conditioned, on our own conditions. We relinquish critical thought for a pre-programmed intuition. Welcome Mr. President, to your dining table. On it you will notice a sumptuous oyster, The world is within. Treat it carefully. Or don't. The choice is yours, sir. The consequence is ours. Because we love propaganda More than a proper agenda. We fiend to be the rightest Instead of being righteous. And we're eager to give a piece of our minds, Instead of gaining collective peace of mind. Welcome American people, to the first day of a new legacy. A new tragedy.
