Futures

I worry for the future disappointed in these power games those in charge play yet never suture. They seem to act maliciously for the populace but for themselves they alone are all that matter ambitiously. What of the common man or woman the average Jane, Jose, Mark and Malik who struggle everyday just to be citizen most human? The power mongers say quite bold and loudly they feel the heartbeat of the masses while satisfying their wants unashamed and proudly. Nothing changes or if it does it has miniscule effect evaporating in the non-contritional rhetoric. Republican or Democrat policies assume they are truly donkeys and elephants in the senate and congressional rooms. Alt rights or alt lefts and conservative liberals lay in the backgrounds shouting and screaming foul play as if they were pseudo embedded federals. All the while these decision makers grow wealthier hiding their greed and displaying egos as the sole givers and takers. I have lost faith's blade in every word each repetitiously and gratuitously speak and see the coming years as promise lost to the lathe. I worry for the futures yet to come the generations left with this foolishness to expunge how will history record the age of America undone?
