Modern Leaders

If all is lost
and lost for all
Then what's the point
In standing tall
Cheats and scoundrels 
wall to wall
Middle class
is poised to fall
Our fathers hopes
Beyond recall
As modern leaders
Drop the ball

Really nice rhythm and rhyme; a great write! Congrats on being featured! If you have the time, you might like to read my "The Political Game" which is thematically similar. Well done, again!

Terrific writing. This is wonderfully expressed. I noticed you wrote it in 2005. 12 years later and your words are as timely and relevant as ever :-) Congratulations on the feature placement. Well done. blessings, lynn
