Building Truth

It appears the deeper we dig in the soil,
    The foundation becomes clear about deceit.
As reinforcing rods look to be twisted,
    Around all this compromised concrete.

Can the true nature be found in the footings,
    That support this structure, constitutional?
While the layers have been crushed & compacted,
    Leaving partisan levels to the judicial.

This search involves difficult fact-finding,
    Tearing down walls with its demolition.
Where multiple efforts have progressed,
    Seeking any fault to unearth by prosecution.

The finished product can hopefully resolve,
    Massive tensions that are seen above ground.
While these cracks in our legal foundation,
    Can be repaired to keep democracy sound.
