Analysis of Burning place
City towers suffocating smoking drifts
Mingles with, urban sprawls until erased
Town criers shouting louder from these towers
To those ignoring fires, beneath ablaze
Scorching cancers underline wild flaming spreads
Commoners quickly turn their heads blindly by the haze
Ruling class, Liberal Leftist politicians don each a smiling mask
Their tragedy corrosions spreading, our lives left with bitter taste
The hands that choke away our liberties, day by day
To an existence lesser among this nation once ringing freedom now Obama’s burning place
