OH AMERICA, YOUR BRIGHTNESS FADES


By beanerywriters(11,675)



“Oh America, your brightness fades;

quenched by the waters of a whirlwind

your princes did create.

As your name, your honor

by which I have honored you

draws to an end, you say nothing!

What light now do you hold

that truth cannot unfold to behold its lie

and show you how dim it is?

Yet your silence does approve!

Your sacred places are still

while your pillars seek your destruction

You see but do not say, hear but do not know.

What spell has come over you?

Of only you would stand,

but feeble weakness has you on your face.

Arise, I say, wake up!

Take hold of the promises I hold out.

Or I will crush you with the Rock I gave to be your foundation.
