Valley Forge, Revolutionary Soldiers Quarters

overburdened business steep taxation distant governance
forced silence

provident plans secret meetings devout secession
struggling strife

battles lost war won snuffed lives
paid price

Freedom blossomed
Tilled in fields of blood
By Founding Fathers
On their knees.
What must they
Think of us now?
Failure

spiralling history repeated mistakes disguised tyranny
sleeping citizens
