Broken Faith

The trust you
place 
        in the powers that be
   is dying
The faith which you
     had 
In the leaders 
    has been shattered
A grim scenario is
     unfolding
  The times have changed 
you
   Cynicism clouds your
vision now
    Does it seem correct 
    to say you've grown up?
    Or perhaps you should regain your old beliefs?
         The incessant beat-beat-
beat of the mechanical clock
       continues
Well, old clothes must 
sometimes be discarded 
   New ones should replace them
    You look well today
Go out and enjoy!
