Jeffree Skewes #125 Colossal

A-m-e-r-i-c-a the tune
we hum it all the time
before the decline
defined by the fall
it's grace no longer
Spartacus plausible
it's peak was invincible
ripped and controlled
a movie masterclass for all
until and through hearing
nineteen 50s house committees
defined that un-American

the painful gradual fall
set in Stone the 1960's
Oliver's seventies and '80
still towers go down
forces work underground
conspiracies remain Roman

tragedy's a thing
we dance and sing and rap
unhinged the guns always
they rule the 1st amendment
some power and some passion
for whose right to be right

A-m-e-r-i-c-a
