Corruption On Fire

There is corruption that is suddenly on fire Things are hanging from a very thin wire Exposure is happening, more looming by the day The fire is burning fiercely, as it is on its way To Justice that many people will not like Because they chose to believe, lies that strike From the mouths of those who do not care Out for themselves, money and nothing fair There is division, but there is also great unity For millions who are able to open their eyes to see We’ve been manipulated, wronged in many ways But our faith has not wavered in all of these days God Bless America, with all that waits us ahead Prayers for justice, safety, unity, and peace instead To stifle this fire that so many others do ignite We will hold onto freedom with every given right!

Nice write. Artful exposure of a divisive topic… My take: We are morphing slowly into the old Soviet Union: Openly Socialist candidates for President; total distrust of government; faith only in the good American people---must as Soviets had faith only n the goodness of the Russian people. Oy, vey! Thanks, Heidi! Blessings, Gershon
