The Dam

Another crack is in the concrete
More seepage from the Dam
How many will be in the way
When the whole thing crashes in

So many with an opinion
On things they do not know
With no one who is willing
To take the time to plug the hole

Do we not see the flood of ignorance
Bursting at the seams
I believe this time the sky falling
Whether or not the chicken screams

Blind in our understanding
Destruction will clear the path
The Dam is clearly bursting
Is it too late to hold it back

What we need as a people
Is the wisdom to come together
To help stop the Dams destruction
Instead of blaming its construction on each other

I agree Mike, the infrastructure of the good old USA is falling apart! (Symbolism usage like in your introspective poem btw!) :)
