\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Loss Of A Friend<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sounds Of Silence have come and gone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, they\u2019re singing a new kind of song.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A song with a message that\u2019s gonna hurt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They think it\u2019s freedom but, it is just dirt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Share your wealth with those who do not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the most they\u2019ve done is blow snot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They whine and cry and say it\u2019s not fair.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The only thing they want is for you to share.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What has happened to the \u2018American Dream?\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Capitalism is not what they say it seems.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They have corrupted all it stands for.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I fear our old way of life is out the door.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We need a savior. One with the courage<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

to make the changes needed in a hurry.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While there still is some ray of hope<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

to be seen through all the MJ smoke.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our political system is as corrupt as the mob.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

No one is motivated to go out and get a job.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there any chance to turn it around in time?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon speaking your own mind will be a crime.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess you just have to call it a sign of the end.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Time to say goodbye to your long lost friend.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am talking about liberty and pursuit of happiness.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All will be gone. Only thing left will be the big \u2019S\u2019.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
