The Age of Bully Boys

Welcome to the age of the bully boys pulling little girls curls and stealing others toys unraveling the flag as it unfurls of a nation divided shouting louder and defiant babblery so misguided posturing without intelligible commentary while the rights and needs of the people are ancillary cut and bleeding like on open heart's coronary; a time of liars and deniers, deflectors and excusers speculation on heroes, the winners and the losers a pause of common sense and courtesy adversary a forgotten loss of once-great American constabulary; an excuse for mistakes made by behooves by the shakers and the non-political movers the baby boomers of the sixties dream once a plenty now, without memory of the changes of the century; tell me what you'll say when comes your children's day and the question they will ask where did you stand in the past? Did you stand for freedom or walk the party lines tell what purposeful intrigue did you find? was it only the loudest voice, the elephant in the room taking honesty and silence permitting America to doom? Step aside bully boys, American dreams are still here and the people's voice grows louder, every day more clear justice, freedom and equality for all make a choice, it's your last call.
