United We Fall

Blarg

A black horse on a white hill

Foaming at the mouth

Leading with lies

Building power based on fear

 

"Fighting the good fight"

"Nothing will stop us"

"Bi-partisan, pro-war"

Building an engine of hate

 

It rolls steady down the hill

Building momentum

Raging within

And United we Stand

 

As the years move on

Power shifts gears

What was once important

Is now a distant memory

 

The bi-partisan failed

The people are lost

No power based on dread

No consideration for what has been lost

 

It's no wonder

How the campaigns

Degrade one another

It's only a shame

 

Name calling

Finger pointing

It's all a childish game

Accountability is lost in the blame

 

How would it be

If just for a day

A being of power

Was humbled with guilt

 

He told his greivance

And let the once blinded choose

Whether we believed

He did what was right

 

And then accepted with the jeers

That maybe for once

He was at fault

The world, just once

 

Would stop in its tracks

Headlines would read

Senator does Crack

All because he didn't lie to the sheep

 

How sad a world

And how bad would the consequences be

At the end of the day

United We Fall

 

My challenge to you

As it is to myself

Quit accepting the non-answers

Start pressing for what matters

 

Unless you wish to live in the Country of Nevada.....

Author's Note

Frustrated, I haven't had much time to write, and with the economy and other aspects of the US sh**ing the bed, I haven't been in a non-news mode in quite awhile. I think it's time to quit while we're ahead. Because to quit while in some symbolance of power isn't nearly as bad as quitting with your tail between your legs....
