Colors Fade

Sad to say, it appears some days the colors fade. The bold and brave red, white and blue caves to lives given over to a multitude of graves. The allegiance dies while the inner heart cries to question what is, what was our prize. The political arena fails at every turn while the constitution flames and burns and Washington never seems to change or learn. The people were once the voice smothered by president and senates egotistic choice as arresting of protester fail to alter the course. An unsettling time rises once again of disenchantment and contempt constrained without resolve, message unheard though clear and plain. Let the colors be bright and glow deep blue with fifty white stars in rows red and white wrapped in the democratic flow.
