"America the Lost"

The genius of terror

the power of one

the secure insecurity

the doubt of loyalty


Life isn't fair

Fair isn't what we asked for

Life isn't safe

Safe isn't what we asked for

Life isn't nice

Nice isn't what we asked for


Choice

is what we asked for

is what we are given

is what makes us human

Choice is what makes us fall


Weak

because we won't accept our responsibility

because we won't admit our wrongs

Weak because strength is too

HARD

We have chosen terror

We have chosen power

We have chosen insecurity

We have chosen doubt


What have we chosen?


Terror

Because we feel invincible

Power

Because we fake self-sacrifice

Insecurity

Because we defy safety

Doubt

Because we don’t believe


America the Free

America the Brave


America the Lost.
