What is right?
What is the truth?
The morals of our history
The legacy of our past
A country made up of pioneers
Their lives built a nation
But was it in vain?
Decades of Enemies
Their actions to destroy it
In ideology and hate
They set out to eliminate it
By propaganda and demonization
By violence and dehumanization
Shutting down free speech
Eliminating free thought
As they turned the honor of the past
To make villains from those heroes
As they disassembled the dream
They burned the Constitution
With their words and deeds
As they made evil appear goodness
Their lies appear to be truth
A word at a time,
An image at a time,
They rewrote history
Using their new narrative
To snuff out the light
Leaving only darkness in its wake
Ashes , where a country once stood
And
Death the legacy of their manipulation
Destruction their final
Result
