I’ll let Norman Mailer have the last word:
"Each day a few more lies eat into the seed with which we were born, little institutional lies from the print of newspapers, the shock waves of television, and the sentimental cheats of the movie screen."
No Longer United
Such little seeds we people are
Vulnerable to birds of prey
Caricatures of eagles from afar
Swoop in to have their way
Fertilized by lies in the name of hope
How could it get much worse
The only way for us to cope
Is to believe their lies verse for verse
Corrupted by freebies they scatter among us
Needy by their manipulative regulations
Poor by taxes they have taken from us
Our children become victims if indoctrination
What will grow from the people seeds?
Row by row shall we stand and listen?
Threatened by the government's trained eagles and weeds
Will our liberty fade and disappear into the distance?
