The Republic
Our Republic
Has survived
For over 200 Years
Success based on
Checks and balances
Power restrained
Rule of law
Applies to all
This we do believe
What has changed
Does this still apply
Are we losing ground
Checks ignored
Laws flaunted
Money gets you off
The powerful
Know its broken
Work to take advantage
To big to fail
No defense
We're sheep to the slaughter
Greed
Excess
Corruption
Pack the courts
With political hacks
Jurors prudence not involved
Appoint heads
Of agencies
That don't care at all
Ignore science
Established rules
Laws do not apply
All that matters
Is personal gain
Enrichment of what is mine
Impeachments out
No scandals matter
No issues cross the line
Treason is
No reason to alter
The balance that divides
Where's the line
No one is sure
Where is too far
This will be
The end of all
Our fall is enshrined
Greed
Excess
Corruption
Has survived
For over 200 Years
Success based on
Checks and balances
Power restrained
Rule of law

No one is sure
Where is too far
This will be
The end of all
Our fall is enshrined
Greed
