Sale of Myself

The emancipation of American slaves
was proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln,

An American who did the right thing,
at the right time, for the right reason.

Treason followed, the treacherous flourish yet,
in the land Honest Abe would feel queer in,

In the land that lauds liars, where a consumer
(nee citizen) swallows lie after lie after lie.
