Forgot all about this, keyed this in 20.
Politcal tomfoolery! Government improving matters? Utter Blasphemy!
We're just having ideas pounded into our heads,
Us being the pupils; the administration being the false academy...
Sadly most are being ignorant to the omens of the upcoming devastation
The President's too caught up in trying to prove that we're the "best nation"
We're proverbally on the mound..
N. Korea? Iran? Suadi Arabia? We don't even know who the batta is!
World War 3 is eminent, result of a reaction..
The so-called "War on Terrorism" is obviously the catalyst..
Locked in a chess match, with the player using his own citizens as pawns
He hasn't thought out future moves; living for the future, never trying to secure bonds
But as I glumly think about the possibility of another draft, more death
My mind shoots back to remember history; it consoles me, helps me catch my breath
Smoke rising steadily from fire, with a considerable ammount of troops beginning to tire
They still fought through bitter exhuastion, through their burnt throats becoming dryer
They fought their growing hunger, they fought with cheap, torn linens
But most importantl of all...They fought for our independence...
Yes, it consoles me; That:
Through the bullets, through the flares, through the cannonballs landing
That during that battle at Fort McHenry...That tattered flag was still standing
