Old Plain Buttons

Old Plain Buttons on a sloop
When American might was honored---
Kindly treated you were, and not harassed.
Ashamed I am to say, no such treatment
Would be given to you in today's America
A hollow shell of her glory.
I love my country, but not its people.
I love its laws, but not its hollowed jerks.
Today,  I saw the men wandering
Like they did before World War I
Aimlessly in the streets, disturbed by technology.
And I will not fight in its infernal wars.
For I am a patriot to another world
And a country long gone and forgotten by time.
I have a country... Star Spangled Banner
And Liberty. Not Kings and mad Congresswomen
Trying to steal every breath of liberty
From our blessed soil. That is not my country.
I bow to no man, nor tyrant, but seek
The Principle of our great nation.
Not "Sexual Liberty" for no such liberty
Can exist with my blessed freedom.
It is the rot that tumored our shores
And made great waves and destroyed
Worlds before. But I shall let them have it
For I am a man without a country---
But not the same as the one who dishonored his
But the one abandoned by it, for we forgot our own foundations.
