Rising In the Gravity of the Wave of Political Deceit

The gravity of the wave of deceit has pulled political integrity To its lowest ebb and flow, smothering morality with quagmires Of electorial power abuse and sarcastic expositions of vanity. Republic--Democratic--ideas, once held in high esteem Have become veiled, vacuous words wallowing in party mud; And our home--country has fallen into moral bankruptcy. But We must refuse to accept that the vault of resolution is empty! As with Noah, the turbulent times treacherously trot trust's road, Inundated with pompous potholes of indignant, twittered "isms". The Star Spangled Banner is a distant echo and America The Beautiful Has been recalled. Her amber waves frothing on the shores of deceit. How long will we willfully play dice with the fate of a drowning nation? How long must we allow "...crippling fear...like a nagging hound of hell... Pursue our every footstep..." with shattering winds of depression?

Thanks, sand blown. The wave made it to the shore but in a weak frothing condition. Thanks for the read. Peace and Love, Millard Lowe
