Sinful Stain of Socialism

Concourse

Smite socialism on the cheek and leave it behind in not-forgotten history,

if we don't, then we will find ourselves living in utter sewage and misery.

Socialism sneaks in unexpectedly with promise and a pretty face at first,

but then it opens cages that enslave minds, souls, and human dignity.

Liberty, leeched from vampire phantom lips after empty promises,

left out to dry, and longing to escape to the land of the free, if it exists.

Bankrupt, corrupt, and starving on the streets of no hope,

hanging on hardly, end of the rope, as for the future, there is no telescope.
