Democratic Legacies

Take a moment, if you will to ponder the situation of government at will. Representatives of the people they claim yet, individual indiscretions gain greater fame. Racist ramblings dress a deep inner rage rise to the surface from pasts poorly displayed. Whiteout and black face strayed openly upon the political stage. Sexual innuendo and exploitations feign threat and menace of illegal immigration. Tax dollars that can never satisfy the budgetary ingredients of a mince pie, build a wall, large and stout keep everyone in and the others out. Gone is the give and take lessons lost of passed mistakes. What price does the future hold for democratic legacies of old? Open eyes, how do we boldly go to the freedom for the republic we know?
