Shall we march the world as conquerors
as tyrants did of old?
Amassing power and riches
for which their souls were sold.
Or should we be a Christian nation
the enlightenment of all,
not follow these crippled leaders
as they stumble toward the fall.
Thinking independent thoughts
is what made our country great,
to that rational we must return
before it is too late.
Corrupt shortsighted profiteers
hold the reins of power,
before the idols of wealth and greed
they worship and they cower.
Our soldiers guard the silk road
being told that keeps us free,
from enemies in abundance
as far as the eye can see.
We grow weary of the slaughter
vying for influence and great wealth,
as repayment for our misdeeds
approaches us in stealth.
The sand castle we inhabit
will be swept out on the tide,
then a desolate barren beachhead
is where we will abide.
