Political

It's not supposed
to be an easy subject
but with today's catastrophe

of government intrusion
into personal affairs
it was detrimentally

inspiring rustic entanglements
of superfluous verbiage.
It had to be reckoned with,

constructively analyzed
in an attempt
to make sense

of inane activities
illuminating illusive ideals
tempting truthfulness

bestowed by lack of
meaning and honesty
It riles the masses

to believe in uncompromising
conceptions decorating
dreams of times passed.
