In 2008 Americans falsely we believed we the people elected a bronze skin and hair of wool prophet

turns out big business selected a beastly puppet to help them turn a big profit

Extreme liberals were blind in their unthinking love

Extreme conservatives were blind in their racist hate

And we the American people took the bait as greedy politicians distracted U.S. the sleeping citizen sheep for the elites

who sacrificed our the American people’s fate

just for they could have a meaningless birth certificate debate

While overnight they stripped alway many of our constitution rights

Fast and furiously Tried to take away some of our most tactical guns

while attempting to turn this country into a police state

Making it a crime to be a patriotic whistleblower like snowden

manning or the creator of Wikileaks

While silencing the mainstream media so much they are now meek and will preach whatever the powers that be demand they speak

Forced many to buy affordable healthcare they can barely afford While at the same time struggling to eat

so forget about the American dream of saving money and one day becoming an economic elite

like the middle American belief

If Martin Luther King was alive today

what has become of his I have a dream fantasy would have him crying himself to sleep!
