Gleaming Capitol

Gleaming Capitol.
Alabaster stones shining bright.
Peoples history and hope.

Dark place of power.
Filled up with greed, lust and lies,
Destroyers of liberty.

That is what is really behind the walls of that building in DC. "DC" should really mean "Den of Corruption". Good write.

Early morning reading to get the mind buzzing. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry Christopher. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope to see more of your poetry when I get back to the Soup Monday. Usually pretty busy on the weekends with family so don't get to read much. Love, Carol
