In the land of the free, so they say,
Where dreams are made, night and day,
A show for the eyes, a grand performance,
But behind the curtain, it’s a different play
In this land of irony, nothing is what it seems to be.
Hard work is praised with empty applause,
While old men with power dictate our cause.
Democracy here is an illusion,
Only the chosen few truly entertain.
Emotions run high in this paradoxical land,
There’s no certainty, anything could happen.
Oh my goodness Hammer on the head. This speaks volumes to the reality we are living here in America, . Especially the end about grasping for ever shifting sand. Every line had a point. This totally resonates with me so much. Love this!
