wouldn’t Jefferson be proud
watching from the cliffs of eternity
watching the waves of liberty
watching as they dissipate
jagged rocks with jagged growth
corporate lichen with no remorse
cancer disguised as freedom
a ticking bomb sent as a gift
wouldn’t Franklin be proud
watching from the cliffs of eternity
watching us sacrifice freedom
for a false sense of security
no longer taxed from the grave
by the greedy elite above
listening from yesterday
weeping for us all
