Dc Open Spaces
There's space between my ears
growing wider over these current years.
My words and thoughts barely prevail
with every news event reality assailed.
What happens to a world ever on the edge
when every politicians fails to keep their pledge?
Fake news indeed, lies stretched out perhaps
as democracy falls into darker snaring traps.
Seems nothing ever changes
politicians to truth are strangers,
they spend money we don't have
and cut taxes for the rich, so sad.
The average Joe and Jane
appear to have no say in this DC game.
They should all be severed from their space
half barely show up to know what's at stake.
Perhaps the news should be more truthful
instead of debating comments less useful.
The open spaces begin closing ranks
as Washington debates the stink, stank?!?
It's all political pollution
and nothing they do provides solution.
