Every country's culture considers itself a reflection
of a land of the free and the home of the brave though
the sentiment may not quite reflect the prideful intent
of the phrase to an audience aware that another land
of the free and home of the brave erred in punishing
the nascent United State of America. Now America
punishes itself, the very nation that opened wide its
welcoming arms to the wretched of the world escaping
injustice and persecution even while the nation saw
nothing amiss in its devotion to black servitude to
white privilege, a dichotomy that has haunted it ever
since with a torrid wave of accusations and civil unrest
roiling the comfort of the cultured gentry of this very
day who in their wisdom and manipulative skill
entreat the lower classes, new and old to trust their
interests in persevering against all odds are championed
by those dedicated to once more installing themselves
as administrators of the country's fortunes only to
discover old bromides no longer work, the populace
prefers governance by one like themselves, brash
uncultured, absent literacy and fiercely determined
to scale the heights of power taking the agency of
their futures into their own hands to elect a man of
low character but high aspirations, a vulture of
opportunity and self aggrandizement but who yet
ordains events to benefit the devotion of the masses.
