You pledge allegiance,
To that flag,
Of that one country that everyone seems to hate.
And to the republic, which stands completely divided,
Several nations,
Under some faceless deity,

Darkness
All consuming Darkness,
Slithering through the world unseen,
Twisting till nothing is as it once has been,
Leaving the world lifeless.

Sopping cheeks against the sordid carpet,
Sharp threaded tendrils of pain in the back of your skull,
pumping two sides of the engine, pain-regret, pain-regret,
wondering if you'll ever run out of your own twisted fuel?
And if it happened once, what could ever be so good that you'd choose it again?

With the government shutting down because they're a bunch of little children in a pissing contest, I decided to slap up a little something.

like with most things precious- they are eventually taken for granted. America is only as great as those that live here.
its nice to see such a statement without finger pointing and blame placing. anyone with open eyes can see there is no one party that can take credit for our problems. if anyone is to blame it should be ourselves.
