remember when they were going to censor the internet

Opportunity and Lies

The American Dream.
Opportunity.
Manifest Destiny.
Freedom.
Democracy.
Justice.
“Here you can do anything you want,” they say.
“Lies,” is my reply.
They love you till you are successful, then you are the enemy.
Work hard. That is what they want, but not too hard. 
For when you work too hard you gain something from them.
Once you break out of the norm, they think you are committing a crime, breaking a law.
It doesn’t matter if you weren’t born into it. The lazy and fallen see it as such.
“Here you have freedom,” they claim.
Well, if that was true…
Shouldn’t we be allowed to freely love who we want?
Shouldn’t we all be given the same opportunities?
Why is our freedom of speech constantly attacked?
Why is our government throwing a punch at the internet?
“Uncle Sam wants you,” the posters show.
“Except you,” screams the subtext.
It is now so obvious that…
Democracy is dying, our Nation is lying,
And it is up to us to fix the cracks of injustice.
