CROSSROADSPhoto by Famingjia InventorChants and screams
deafen the quiet night
Our burning cities cry
Hate’s army is stirring up a losing fight
Forked tongues shouting lies.GODSPEED MAGAZINECloaked in deception,
the masses clamoring
Hidden agendas revealed
American history burned
dismantling
While politicians' lips stay sealed.

The sides of the aisle are no longer blurred
Party platforms manifested
Americans have no excuse not to be heard
Speaking truth for the country
in which they're vested.  Photo by Florian OlivoGODSPEED MAGAZINEThis facade of freedom, funded by shadows
No patriots endorse
Choreographed to riot and put on a show
Anarchist’s schemes of course.

Their shouts are awakening the sleeping giant
A terrible wrath awaits
Lady liberty will unleash justice on the defiant
Socialism crushed in her wake.

Freedom lies in the balance
Governance will collect it’s overdue levy
If God’s people choose silence.

The day is coming when the silent must speak
The majority shall be heard
If democracy and freedom is a life you seek
Then will God count your vote November third.Photo by Charles DeluvioGODSPEED MAGAZINE
