The American empire is falling into the sea.
Take heed! Take heed!
A ruptured heart pumping out misdeeds.
It bleeds! It bleeds!
The pompadoured aristocrat sits high upon his steed.
Praise greed! Praise greed!
All the dirty fingered peasants wailing out their need.
Please feed! Please feed!
The gardens of our pleasure now quickly gone to weed.
Bad seed! Bad seed!
And the country falls from the graces of the creed.
Liberty deceived. Liberty deceived.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
