In a land where liberty once took its stand,
Constitution’s word was the law of the land.
By the people, for them, or so was the plan,
Now, in shadows dark, these ideals are damned.
Truth was once our bright shining star,
Now the lies stretch near and far.
Forgotten and lost, truth and trust,
Become outlaws, as facts turn to dust.
Deceptions unfurl, from whispers to gust,
As government cloaks us in web of mistrust.
A narrative shaped, deceptions so sly,
Blinding the nation’s public eye.
Wars without an end, under darkening sky,
True culprits in hiding, facing no outcry.
Privacy stolen, surveillance our bane,
Three letter agencies, freedom's dark stain.
Our trust, our faith, in democracy's name,
Eroded, corroded, in this covert game.
In corners dark, they watch and they wait,
Rulers unknown, deciding our fate.
Yet in this dark realm, heroes arise,
Whistleblowers and journalists, cutting through lies.
Snowden, Assange, their lives’ sacrifice,
Truth tellers face prison, not a fancy prize.
On the tyranny’s edge, the despairs persist,
Totalitarian nightmare spreads its iron fist.
Staring down the abyss, our hope starts to wane,
Yet, resisting this doom is the ultimate aim.
Let the curtain be torn, let the light shine so grand,
Reveal all hidden truths, let them starkly stand.
Restore our rights, Constitution’s command,
Live in truth and in peace, in our beautiful land.
