Short-Lived Dream

You are sicker in blue

With glaring white and red stripes

Pearl stars break your hue

Cannot trust your wavy moves


And the crowd lingers on

The sparks in the sky

Light up your lives in song

Indifferent and not asking "why?"


Shout a clouded slogan

For you, the everyman

Yet you are not privy to

The psychopathic demands


A heretic collects a rock

And you de-stock it in shock

Pepper havens to slow them down

And you abuse that every day


I can't feel your peace

Keeping us on a tight leash

For the good of the folks

And no one sings folk


Must you shelve your goods

Extracted from once pristine woods?

Friendly neighbors are aside

Whom you cast aside like trash


I could only hope for you all

All this will be in sing-song

I'll make amends for you all

Some of you live lives so strong


Earn your welcome to gain a gift

A gift of none of your home's squalor

Yet this could cause a widening rift

Among the hawks who claim valor


You are still sicker in blue

With glaring white and red stripes

Pearl stars break your hue

And we cannot trust your wavy moves


You have felt a comforting dream

One that will soon break at the seams

And the red, white, and blue icon

Will fade and lives will carry on
