Happy 4th!
Our founding concept of democracy,
Permanently corrupted by hypocrisy.
Civil liberties eroded,
Gears of progress corroded,
Perpetual dysfunctional bureaucracy.
Federal government’s jurisdiction,
Egregious example of dereliction.
From sea to shining sea,
Debasing what was free,
Leaving an incurable affliction.
So go ahead and invade because, honestly, I don’t think you could do much worse.
