Hollow America.

Empty gestures plague these lands,

For what does that American flag really stand?

"Brothers and Sisters", bloodied and bruised,

Fight each other, for one another, confused

Misdirected by the media hand.

So unaware, taking stands on quicksand.

Black is this

White is that

Ignorance isn't bliss, but Death,

This will lead to that.

Feed the hungry, clothe the poor

Those utterly helpless, close the door.

"Let them die",

"Bomb them all".

Protect our America as our humanity falls.

Shell of a human, 

Hollow America.
