"Anthem"

By the rockets red blaze
A great nation now razed

The home of the brave
and the free
laid low by thieves and knaves
making all of us slaves.

The paper our presidents adorn
our "great wealth"
now torn
nearly worthless and worn

What little 99% of us have
The have nots are we
no comfort or luxury
past maybe a TV.

By the rockets red glare
The Constitution laid bare
and erased or pissed upon
How did they dare?
didn't we care?
The blame is all ours to share.

Anyone home in The home of the brave?
Can it be saved?
S
