Fraility Of Human Trust.

What is happening to my generation

A collapse in human trust

Destruction of wealth of nations



Greed and avarice

Arrival of a new day

This pursuit of self

The human race to a halt rent

                            

Where is my beloved America

Land loved by people and nations

This speed of disintegration

The wealth of a nation



That woke up to a shock

The strike of the sons of squanders

The agents of their masters

The masters of deceit



With open mouth

The mouth of the old serpent

Has swallowed the wealth of a nation

And unwilling to cough out

                          

The entire planet now harbors them

Recruiting more to the big club

This ancient cult of treachery

The flight of the human trust.

worse in 2009. When will it
get better?

i love the line "recruiting more to the big club" Thats like america in a nutshell. mind you I don't live in America but the news, the cinema, pop culture and common sense have helped me get an idea of what america is like. Good job I like it, it flowed and its words wernt too big and old testament but they were in the radar of a certian inteligence. Try rhyming abit sometime because even though rhyme is a person's downfall sometimes it is a still a great voice of expression.
