Third World Justice


America has lost control

of the Founders rule of law

The criminals are now in charge

as truth has been declawed

 

Locking up the standard bearers

with new self-serving lies

Banana groves are planted deep

— where freedom used to thrive

 

(Independence Hall: May, 2024)
