Lady Liberty Many years ago I was introduced To the beautiful Face of you. Spent five long years Fighting for, Dying for None but your…love(?) Thought I had you For so long, But I found I was wrong. You were cheating Since we met, Now I know I Ain’t had you yet. Lady Liberty are you still around? Or has democracy the Reaper found? Were you ever really there Or just production of our scare? Rightist extreme With Right-wing dreams Of environmental destruction And poverty induction. We allowed it all it seems. ************************************ |

Your very last line sums it all up. Who would beat the drum to have all line up and proclaim their true self's allegiance to this country, and right the wrongs done by the bureaucrats ... I think of the many of us that volunteer our time for various associations, school boards, senior citizens and the like...we give and give of ourselves, and the politicos take and take.... oops...you've gotten me on my soapbox. I'll get off now....but I will surely bet, someone else WILL step up.... NEXT? |
