Freedom is the jewel which resides atop the tallest mountain spire.
Pity its the carrot used to lure in every power hungry dictatorial liar.
Symbol used to emblazon oppression from East to West.
A hundred year lie.
Watch as equality is waved goodbye.
Falsehoods misrepresented to give an illusion of progress.
Every apparent step forward is to conceal a two step regress.
This might be a new age but its a time of contempt.
A hundred year lie.
Watch as equality is cemented in myth.
Bombs fall to drown out those who fall.
Level decency beneath nationality.
Picking hope clean from charred innocent bones.
Control is a currency to horde and fortify.
Smiling faces hide the truth of these crimes.
Projecting resilience in the face of suffering.
Will there be a course correction?
A hundred year lie.
Will this persist until we all wither and die?
