The Economics Of Liberty

In a world of love and hate, freedom's liberty has met it's fate,
turbulent mares in her sleep, caged in democracy, her eyes weep

once solid, her harbor crumbles, as freedom's loud ring humbles,
distilled ideals lay dormant in copper,now time has  forgotten her



Oh woman of virtue,
symbol of our way,
we can no longer afford you,
we're taking your oil away,

it's an embargo on your pride,

you couldn't live free forever,

whom ever told you so... lied,

the world will never come together


 


Crowned in sleeplessness, in an insomniac state, an idol the world hates,
dressed in robes, justice in her hand, a bride divorced from her land

lost to darkness, her twins now gone, she's mother of a nation undone,
economics has taken her home... and forever will she be in a storm alone

    Excellent write here

    You have truly touched the heart of the world and shown without love and peace she stands naked in a world of hate and greed to one day crumble for no one felt need to join together and keep freedom above all
