American Teen – Property of the State Machine
The American Teen
Property of the State Machine
Subtle training, penetrating
Blaming, defaming, and campaigning
When they said educated
It meant indoctrinated
Programmed to follow orders
To parrot phrases like, “open borders”
Unengaged but entertained
Every day, it’s all the same
Most aren’t happy but don’t know why
Until they’re ordered to comply
Disposable flunkies
Hooked like junkies
On video games and social media
While dust gathers on the encyclopedia
They only care when they’re told to care
Atrocities happening everywhere
Children murdered every day
No outrage; they had nothing to say
Bullets fly in Chicago and DC
Every day like Wounded Knee
Gangsters keep killing
Morgues keep filling
But shift the narrative to bathroom choice
And suddenly they find a voice
Secret money starts to flow
Line them up and make a show
Left hand waving for attention
Burying facts they don’t want mentioned
Strings being pulled by Socialists
Abortionists and chauvinists
Agenda-driven
The truth stays hidden
While women suffer in the Middle East
Owned by men, just like beasts
Subjected to humiliation
Acid attacks and mutilation
No one told our youth to care
Media shifts to nationalized healthcare
Rallies and demonstrations
New demands and declarations
Expendable pawns fill the rooms
Order kept by black-masked goons
Young collegians
Goose stepping legions
The Machine keeps speaking
Politicians leaking
While the young keep getting played
Convinced to hand their rights away
Statues stood for a hundred years
Walked by them daily but had no fear
The Machine said to tear them down
Erasing history from every town
So they march, or stand, or do whatever
The chaos seems to give them pleasure
Descending into anarchy
Relinquishing their humanity
Into the jaws of the grinder
Scores of laughter from their minder
Blinded sheep, your sons and daughters
Politically correct while led to slaughter

Excellent piece, Ralph. Well done, indeed.
The indoctrinated youth of this country will surely lead to its downfall, it’s only a matter of time. The leftist media and propaganda mongers are slowly poisoning the youth. Entitlement is the forerunner as to why you get a job, not your skill and talent. Check off a box we have that one not because he graduated 1st in MIT but because he meets the acceptable number of ethnic people we need from that group. It is sickening. If they want a country divided, they have one. Great piece Ralph, thought provoking and accurate.
