House of White
Whistling winds
Bursting binds
Clear minds, clear skies
Nearing cries and a
Splintering humankind
Just round the corner, you’ll find
The cause of the blight
The need to be right and
the right to bear arms
The second most important thing to protect cradled in their arms
Collected and neglected wrapped in white and sins
The yearning and inevitability of pale skin
The color of rigor mortis
The true imposters from the has-beens sneaking into the countries fortress
There are only the winners and the sinners who don’t support us
Forgetting those people sat at the same dinner table are now treasonous
Arguing over a false justice
Addicted to every kind of substance including
corruptness
99.9% the same
Yet malcontentedness is cemented in our veins
The assent of a nation stuck in the pasts chains
Taxation causing starvation that's not growing pains
Kids all alone and stripped away of a place to call home so they wait in vain
Although inhumane, the rest of the population is still so vain
The country of dreams, that they dream to escape
A giant colossal mistake
So hope is broke
Laws revoked, politicians choked
Waiting for a man who never spoke
Holding up podiums of white oak just smaller than their hypocrisy
And at the center of it all
burning in a plume of smoke
was the pillars of their democracy
The piece is supposed to highlight the situation in America over the last 4 years from the perspective of someone outside the country.
