A Surreal Test
This democratic republic, where most of us
Have toiled through and reside.
Is the most difficult, complex, and lethargic
System, that's ever been contrived.
It requires an educated electorate, with a
Committed participation to be heard.
While their legislative representatives listen,
Then work together towards actual solutions,
And their word.
Often time consuming and compromising,
Due to the inherent numbers involved.
Yet for those who value freedom and choice,
It's still the best for those liberties as they've evolved.
What's intolerable, is the partisan politics, where
Conspiracies and blame, top the agendas at length.
As it rips away at the fabric of justice,
Which is supposedly, our greatest strength.
Yet one man and his fervent followers, seem to
Feel that just one party should surpass the rest.
While doing battle against a weakened judiciary,
Claiming innocence all along their quest.
These are the crossroads we now face, where no
Matter the direction taken, accountability shows a violent side.
Since this man, the former POTUS, has so much
Criminal conduct about, he just can't hide.
Ultimately, this decision to indict, lies with a
Justice department and its conviction.
While any failure to deliver this guilt,
Will show our failure through dereliction.
