HELL BENT ON DESTRUCTION
by Brian McLaughlin

Our country 
hell 
bent on destruction

So few 
caring 
about its direction

The government
owned
there's been no inspection

The people
left
without proper protection

Democracy
gone
the rich man's insurrection

They've stolen
from folks
reasons for their elation

Why
do they
expect an ovation

While leaving 
folks
with no motivation

Homelessness
growing
a sad situation

This economy 
in need 
of real regeneration

Will not come about 
through 
wealth segregation
