Why, Oh Why are you so vain?
Why, Oh Why am I in pain?
Because, Because, I have been stained.
My Blood, My Blood, All in your name.
You Speak, You Speak! Of peace and no Bane.
But Yet, But yet, We taste Disdain.
So Many, Oh so many are in their graves
All for, All for, A piece of fame.
Fall and Rise towards your throne
But where, Oh where…Is your phone?
Can you see? Can you See, Their Dies
Yet You, Yes you, Seem to have no eyes.
Damned, yes Damned for one mistake
So vague, Oh vague, was their mistake.
Dues and death cannot be repaid
A simple distress, resonated and never paid.
You speak of perfection and common good
But yet, you know! It’s misunderstood!
A missile to you, Like old wine poured
Unofficial, Submissive, We can’t be restored
A Power so strong, It can’t be wrong!?
Too much, Too much, There is no song
We know we know, we won’t last long
So many, So many are in the graves
And All, yes All for your name.
Our Blood, Our Blood For a Single name.

America inspired me to write this article, It's a cryptic poem though a little at least so i won't spoil the message.
