DISCONNECTION

Like deep sea dwellers bursting free to suddenly surface, with open eyes we find a suddenly changed world.
The termites of greed and power have uncovered the tender vulnerability of the people, weakening their roots.
No longer hidden, the dark side of America has broken through the fog for all the world to behold:
No longer the holy grail for which to strive, no longer a harbinger of justice just over the horizon.
Economically disenfranchised, without viable redress, the human cancer has spread,
Fed by corpses of heroes and drained of compassion.
The mutated succumb to revenge and find welcome in the new world of carnage, forfeitinbg love for destruction,
The great disconnect of the human spirit.
