Strong Medicine

In the house a monster grows. Dissention seethes unchecked, this house divided stands alone. The strongest rule, the rest beaten, submit, hopelessly pay homage, for now. The young, attention is speculative in hope of increasing dominance. Strength through numbers, majority rule. Know those who now rule will again be replaced, they sulk, awaiting their turn. Until then, they will pretend and play their game. A country suffers, new fighting begins, parlay and banter are not our friends, The people the victim once again. Strong medicine needed to bring this monster its end. This two party system is destroying from within.
