America is reeling from
insidious attacks
within the halls
of Congress and outside
it’s crumbling shores.
Corruption eats at the
heart of Lady Liberty
as rich men buy votes
from those who have forgotten
how to lead and serve
their country men.
Their hollow, empty eyes
reflect a lack of morals
as they spend their days
catering to those men
who are hiding in the shadows
and who spit forth lies to mislead,
and cover up their evil deeds.
Congressmen choose to lie
and steal so they can win,
without regard for human life.
In a mad dash for power,
they break rules and make
promises they don’t
intend to keep.
Congress bows to a man
who has taken their power
and who rules with
complete authority.
He does so without restraint
and operates from a
position of self-interest.
The well-being of the People
Congress serves is forgotten.
They serve power and greed.
Their goal is to win, at all cost.
America has been dealt
a terrible blow.
Citizens stagger around
in a stupor, not quite grasping
what has happened to them,
but smart enough to know
America is bleeding and
needs medical attention.
Others follow blindly
like sheep to the slaughter,
believing in those who lie
and say the promised land
is right around the corner.
Where will it all end,
and can a Nation now divided
come together to create
a more perfect union?
Can we focus on the things
we all have in common
and accept our differences
as a symbol of strength?
Will we awake in time
to safeguard our Country
and our precious liberty?
