The Crown They Wear

It is a crown some seek to wear one that no one denies knowing every lie spared fraught with deceit and libel and truths in denial unquestioned for fear of some unknown reprisal. Followers who praise their traits refuse to see the majority's distaste when monies spent is done in foolish haste and the spoken word is repetitiously a kept lie in place; perhaps if each could just return to the past walk steps when time imbues lessons learned that last and the crown each wears would be set aside in humility's cast; these are trying times when few cross the lines when opened eyes could see and ears hear, the peoples' inherent falling tears; what has become of honesty and truth what examples do we set for our youth do they see the crown upon the wrinkled brow of liars taking power from the here and now while obsessive ignorance reigns in their heads and crowns crease furrows of hate instead; It is the reign of political pollution devastating the dream of freedoms de-evolution change and progress need a new solution.
