...concessions...

we're all expected to concede once in awhile, aren't we?
the First Amendment (breathing free speech) and the FCC directly compete violently with each other
while national security and the Fourth have yet to settle their score
and the premise of it all got bitch-slapped in a 5-4 on the supreme court
and I know the Fourteenth had such honest and pure intentions
but it got hijacked by callous fucks and invented corporations
...in fairness, by accident
and prone we are all to needing to make concessions
that's why we have so many fucking amendments
(one per generation, except for our own...)

but there seems to be one relatively unscathed despite how many untimely graves we're forced to watch being dug up and prepared on a weekly basis, and the very stasis of the situation seems every bit as perilous as those the government decide are terrorists (that I do admit [though not to their extent] exist)
but this persists
a blister, a bloody, hairy, disgusting cyst on an otherwise beautiful document that has allowed the armament to obscene degrees
do you think people who could only reload one bullet per minute could see
just what these words would mean
in the grand scheme of things?

no, that's why at the very beginning we all agreed there would be a time that we would need to make some goddamn concessions
to lay down some sexy amendments

and mend the nasty contusions
of a more perfect union

we'll write a post-it-note and hope no one forgets it
and Clarence Thomas doesn't reject it
all I'm asking for
is a new Amendment
