words shredded with hate and anger lie unrecognizable at the feet of lady liberty a few scraps have been reassembled freedom for pursuit of more perfect common to insure domestic welfare do ordain ourselves
count the heartbeats passing before you as if each beat is the sound of their footsteps feel their pulse in the blinks of their eyes the flow of their existence in their facial postures and their demise in the silence of night that darkness where you’re unable to sleep for fear of your own death now i lay me down to sleep
i cannot sleep i hear the night drums pounding within my head waking me a cold sweat envelopes my body in a shroud of fear a civil war is coming history is about to be repeated once again brother against brother blood soaked passions will fill the gutters of hate and intolerance a nation poised to self-destruct fulfilling ancient prophecies but the dead will not rise nor will the meek inherit the ravaged earth they shall be as all shall be the roadkill of man’s accelerated greed
