star spangled eyes

knew he was up to no good
the minute he passed
with that crooked grin
and star spangled eyes
furious over what he believed
to be the American dream
can’t say I blame him
for taking the idea out past
the edge of what society deems normal
how would they know anyhow
the air is definitely colder down here
not offended but still unsure of my footing
he is stumbling through everyone
they wait for the time bomb to blow
he is somehow still in control
he makes the call he doesn’t even realize
and his suit smells like moth balls
his American dream is unlike the rest
his whole reality is twisted
fitting his daily struggle with the madness
who is the right mind here
when will the lights stop blinking…
