Better living for the future
In the shadows of the land of the free
Ever upward, ever onward
The march of progress over the cliffs
Whitewash the walls and the halls of the damned
There are no problems here
(So says the voice behind the curtain)
Everything is what you make it
(According to the not-so-self-made men)
Paving the way for a brighter world
Over the broken and beaten
Can’t keep up?
That’s just the way it is
The spectres of Rand and Reagan laughing
Beating the drums of the Objectivist parade
Right down Main Street
Come join the party
All shiny and self-absorbed
Why worry about the next in line?
Why stop and think about the fallout?
Consequences are for chumps
Social contracts are for leeches
The world is your playground
The toys only for the strong enough to take them
Make sure to knock the “other” kids down when you swing
Huh. Haven’t had a sociopolitical piece come to fruition in awhile. This one’s loosely inspired by the GOP debates, but not really.
