Strange Denial

A mutinous enemy

Carved a nascent country

Sweat, blood, and valor

Forms the grit of our history

Beqeathed to everyone

Chance and free expression

Substance was restrained

And the spirit was broken

I feel a strange denial

Rhythmic as a change

Constance as time

Lonely insistent whispers

Somber as a wave bye bye, bye bye

Searching for solution

Without constitution

Blackcoats by our sides

Promising salvation

Advocating dogma

As tickets to hereafter

Mortals in their prime

With their desperate hands in the air

Daunting complex and burning

Rhythmic as change

Constant as time

Conflicts, craving approval

Weighted as a murder trial

Oh I feel a strange denial

Correct is consensus

Everything else, nonsense

Forward is the hope

Forget recompense

Peace and tranquility

Is only for the wealthy

Dearth for the massses

And inequality

I feel a strange denial

Rythmic as change

Constant as time

Lonely insistent whispers

Dissipating in the night

Like a lone forgotten light

And no one is helping me

It's a strange denial
