The 4 D's In Defense

A critical ally that rears and screams, Only to extend this metaphysical play. Where time becomes both friend and foe, And when a shortfall leads to delay. Realistically, the battleground is for truth, That is far beyond the politically correct. Where the roots of such a grand deceit, Can be pulled & torn apart, not used to deflect. While the illusion is indefensible, soldiers Dig-in with offensive rhetoric they announce. As if a child, throwing sticks and stones, Can find some victory, while they denounce. This conflict is simply a war of words . . . Although explosions grow as they employ. Yet when the carnage is looked upon in the Aftermath, did the damage also destroy? If we view this dramatic tragedy, with open Eyes and critical thinking, utmost . . . We just might rebuild this fragile democracy, And avoid an antiquated, republican provost.
