my own state

A nation is on the threshold to vote for change
maybe a new era of history is actually at our doorstep
where any man who considers himself privy of
public scrutiny
cannot escape his own sortilege
as he predicates intolerance of the deepest kind
drummed contestations of enemy axis at work
used to detract attention for a sorrowful local agenda
all to maintain business deals gone awfully bad
the nature of which is shrouded in masonic secrecy...

but so many will choose such a man
unable to see through his political sham
as a choice of the lesser of two evils,
haunted with notions that
a vote for the other contestant
based on his manner of self-defense,
under fire for indecisive speech
may be an indecisive leader.

a new threshold is on the horizon
where people with a right to political openess
to hear fair accounts of actual political motives
will in reality witness a vote that offers no guarantees
it never has.
