Strange Denial

A mutinous enemy
Carved a nascent country
Sweat, blood, and valor
Forms the grit of our historyBeqeathed to everyone
Chance and free expression
Substance was restrained
And the spirit was brokenI feel a strange denial
Rhythmic as a change
Constance as time
Lonely insistent whispers
Somber as a wave bye bye, bye byeSearching for solution
Without constitution
Blackcoats by our sides
Promising salvationAdvocating dogma
As tickets to hereafter
Mortals in their prime
With their desperate hands in the airDaunting complex and burning
Rhythmic as change
Constant as time
Conflicts, craving approval
Weighted as a murder trial
Oh I feel a strange denialCorrect is consensus
Everything else, nonsense
Forward is the hope
Forget recompensePeace and tranquility
Is only for the wealthy
Dearth for the massses
And inequalityI feel a strange denial
Rythmic as change
Constant as time
Lonely insistent whispers
Dissipating in the night
Like a lone forgotten lightAnd no one is helping me
It's a strange denial
