integrity unwanted turns away
from growing government condescension
for announcing independence dismay
over lady liberty's suspension
when unreason politicians proclaim
to an unsuspecting generation
with lie's imagination to inflame
lawlessness corrupting a great nation
as desperation's cry unheard at night
within gilded halls of power's elite
unconcerned with America's true blight
destroying goodness rendered obsolete
a senseless war on godliness engage
a faceless army hidden out of view
whose conspiratorial ways enrage
a people who morality pursue
