Abuse of power



Welcome to the land of the free and home of the brave  where captive souls are engraved
Where politicians swindle the mind of the people  
Welcome to the land of unjust laws and conflicted views  contradicting actions become more evident  and blatant a land so called free because of the brave  but was built off foreigners and slaves .
Wicked actions trouble this land  cursed with negativity because of a founding fathered hand. Afraid of diversity hatred is embraced because of  ignorance  we suffer . The lack of god and understanding are the roots to the evil  this land possesses  .
How many bodies do you need to fill  your quest to many souls they can’t rest  from deaths so unjust  
Excruciating uses of power to show dominance
To the common citizen  lashes are given like slaves force is used for us to obey . Striking great  fear for maximum control reminding us of hard ships so are mind does not grow .
