Whims within whims,
The nation stumbles and breaks
Penetrating her open wounds,
With the debris of the civil war.
Loony vultures and eagles;
Back on the ****** dinning table.
Feasting in flickering fuss;
With their loopy lentigo claws.
For the love of my generation,
And the one after.
For the love of rightness;
And all that it stands for.
To fill the empty spaces
Of our future that will
One day become our past.
I rise!!! I rise!!! I rise!!!

Whims within whims,
The nation stumbles and breaks
Penetrating her open wounds,
With the debris of the civil war.
Loony vultures and eagles;
Back on the ****** dinning table.
Feasting in flickering fuss;
With their loopy lentigo claws.
For the love of my generation,
And the one after.
For the love of rightness;
And all that it stands for.
To fill the empty spaces
Of our future that will
One day become our past.
I rise!!! I rise!!! I rise!!!
