Death of the American Century
U.S. Flags Fan the Flames

High-definition LEDs burn the words into our retinas.
Block-type text hammered into the pages of History.
The truth is louder than the alternative facts static.
Tehran is the line in the sand. America reached too far this time.
The World is tired of this policing overreach.
Over extended and the American muscle has finally snapped.
MAGA crowds our screens and streets. They are feverish.
Waving American Flags like magic wands, over a burning nation.
Believing they will cure our aging ailments of Capitalistic Greed.
They only intensify the flames of our destruction.
Ensuring the incineration is thorough and complete.
The flags don't bring rain.
The waving doesn't stop the heat.
Shallow iconography and idolatry do not bring relief.
The flags are just bellows for the funeral pyre.
They are intensifying the flames of our own destruction.
The heat is melting the screens now.
The American Century is not fading. It's on fire,
and it is dying... right in front of our eyes.
