Letter To Dc
It eludes me,
the delusions and illusions touted on the news.
The left, the right, the pseudo ruse,
talkers converging to voice their own views.
That desire for fame, fortune and power,
the many who seek to hold that ivory tower;
I'm content down here in the trenches
but every word spoken in DC sours
to make my stomach heave in wrenches.
Most of us are watching, trusting you, trying to believe
as we make our way thru life and time undeceived;
we search for understanding, spiritual divine abstractions,
the fire and the fury relieved,
which we never seem to achieve.
If you want to speak for me don't be a distraction
be careful of what you say, not abstract detraction
let be it factual -
accurate, respectful, precise and tactful
and senators, shame on you and your inaction.
That presidential position is a gift and responsibility
to us the people you should be our voice of sanity,
be kind, be humble, down to earth, if you please,
stop playing games of show and tell in our democracy
for the sake of all humanity.
