Next Great War

the next great war
this country will face
will be a war within
it's own boundaries...

the stench of poverty and
injustice has become too foul...
the old, the homeless, the
forgotten ones have been pushed
too far, left with too little...
and the sound of righteous anger
rips through the air...

now the largest minority
is the common man and woman...
the faceless ones bought and sold,
and left to die on black and white tv's...

and the time has come
when there's no more taking
to be done.... unless, it's the
taking back, of our lives,
our country, and our freedom!
