Arsenal

The sun is tethered above my head

Ten yards away buckets of sweat I shed

Living in a world ruled by fright

S one may cower but I embrace the night

The world's gone mad full of indecision

Judgement racial hate and rigid division

Billions of people so many in need

We ignore charity while embracing greed

American holiday in the lone star state

Children asleep blissfully unaware of their fate

Wars and famine belligerence and hate

Dense people committed to making America great

A document that lays out the governing laws

A government ignoring the laws and exploiting its flaws

When convenient we tout  the constitution

To create outcomes and wreckers solutions

Nothing eclipses the right to bear arms

Total callousness for who it harms

For some reason I can't buy a bazooka or machine gun

But silencers aren't taxed and assault rifles are fun

American holiday in the lone star state

Children asleep blissfully unaware of their fate

Wars and famine belligerence and hate

Dense people committed to making America great

A complete discard for the sanctity of life

How many die yearly by bullet or knife

Children in schools revelers in a club

Nowhere is safe not even the pub

We're beyond common sense and need a resolution

The country is gripped by denial and delusion

So many insist we govern women's choices

Yet they enable the slaughter and silence dissenting voices

The reality is the change must be drastic

A dream of peace and a society fantastic

American holiday in the lone star state

Children asleep blissfully unaware of their fate

Wars and famine belligerence and hate

Dense people committed to making America great

So few now living the life taught by the good book

Maybe its time we all took another look
