America

voices of a nation

silenced by complicity

she lies moribund

no sign of resuscitation

she aches in woeful pain

drones led blindly into war

seceding to radical regime

the elusive enemy, feign

leaders of a nation

her freedom wears a poison mask

numbed by moving screens

fooled by illustration

she writhes in hipocracy

liberties in wait

voices of a nation

silenced by complicity
