The Pledge
by Adam Levon Brown / March 20th, 2016
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united corporation that is America, and to the oligarchy for which it stands,
two nations, divided by greed, with liberty and justice for the rich
Greed fills the veins of the uncaring ruling class
need fills the pockets of the desperate, sickened mass
Law is a construct of the powerful, and not of just ideals
rich men get away with bloody murder while the trapped poor men steal
and get locked up for a decade with no chance of parole
This country has lost its liberty, its ideals, and its soul
soldiers march to the death ring of long forgotten freedom
the war hawks are trapped in bubbles of self-imposed fiendom
