Misconceptions of freedom linger in our midst the holocaust is upon us yet many close their eyes militarized police training with the our men and women acting in a state of control that is out of control a revolution is needed the soldiers of civility are blinded, deafened by the media in a fantasy created by ego oh the days are gone symptoms of the lost highway battles in the streets for emptiness unowned. "Let them eat cake" is screamed from the hill as they lay dying within their own skin souls lost to arrogance The hangman's noose around the neck of our rights the corporate mudslingers play in the pit bringing the manure to the top disengage the education of all feed them with distraction the climb is hard and often unforgiving put on your mask and rise in the new dawn empower your neighbour and ally for divided we fall eliminate the segregation given to us by the elite divided we are weak while united we stand tall Old glory has seen many wars yet faded and torn her colours remain strong Fly her proudly and remember. © 2014 Rainn (All rights reserved)

Poetic, but what does it stand for? Either side of the political spectrum could say: "Yes! That's what we think!
