Scattered debris
A failed attempt at democracy
Duties fulfilled
and roles played
Silver tongued snakes utter hollow promises
Bedevil the tortured, bedevil the insane
In riot gear
armed to the teeth
"Protect and serve":
an oath that's never been
Battle lines drawn
Suppress the masses
Crushing their voice
Grinding dissent
Have we gone astray?
Or were we fucked from the start?
The recognition of living in a state
in which your rights are granted and nothing guaranteed
Silver tongued devils torture the insane
