"We the People"

We
are the people of the past and the present
that you have failed to represent
We freeze in fear of the current fate of our vitality
and of our future fertility
We are those that pay the pipers price
for policies of protection

We do not take lightly the heat of hatred
nor the will to wage war
We only stand brave to bear the burden
forwhich you boldly boast
We laugh not into the plight of peril
or our unwarranted demise

We do not fight for foolish follies
made by our own doing
We are only humble servants of the eccentric
and the uncontrolled extreme

We are forced to march onward
in the manner mandated by madness
We pray profusely that we perish
in a peaceful proclamation

We cry treacherous tears
caused by treason
and that which stain
the sheets of our salvation

We know not where the truth ends
nor where the lies begin
We only remember the written hopes
and dreams of our bygone "Noble" men

We the People
We the People
We the People
