Interesting Times


As an ancient curse once admonished
 We now live in most interesting times
 Yet few seem to be actually astonished
 By the destruction before their own eyes

---

Our beautiful constitutional republic
 Teeters from an outcrop on the brink
 As liberty fades away in the sunset
 Of a people too undisciplined to think Unawareness is a product of indifference
 Glib obsession with our narcissistic selves 
As if children in a make-believe universe
 Unaware of Progressive Marxist utopian hell Hell on earth where freedom is diminished
 Where property rights stay under attack
 Wealth redistributed by our own government
 Full of criminals and career political hacks Progressives and Progressive Marxists co-mingle
 Detached within the people's House and Senate
 Real power provides an aphrodisiac-like tingle 
Such brazen traitors no matter how they spin it History holds empirical evidence for our future
 Our Founders and Framers knew this all to well 
The trajectory if our Constitution was in forfeiture
 By a faithless culture under a silver-tongued spell Wicked bills have been crammed down our throats
 Reflecting the graft born of putrescence and slime
 Yet they continue drilling holes in our sinking boat
 We certainly are living in most interesting times Through history we find practicable wisdom
 Human behavior of thought and experience
 We can't learn if our own history was re-written
 Deftly censored from our everyday existence What happened to hallowed American traditions 
Of conservative ideals, values, and principles
 Who quietly marched right through our institutions
 Stealing our great American culture as if invisible Conservatism seems the only political movement
 Continuously preserving our constitutional republic
 Perceiving our founding documents as Heaven-sent
 Fighting every day for their philosophical content Conservatism has been under a stealth assault
 Over the last ten decades of our nation's past
 Both Republicans and Democrats are at fault 
Becoming wealthy while our country was trashed Freedom's gunwale barely clears water's surface
 Torpedoed by our own bankrupt ship of state
 Only a Reagan or Sarah Palin could give purpose
 To a conservative majority that thinks it's too late Have we learned nothing from our own history
 Are we to passively now accept our sordid fate
