The Fall of The First Republic

When freedom defers its justice, A fearful republic becomes Impotent to expedite. Has our constitutional complexity Created a logjam, where judgement Can't see any light? It appears wealth can wield power To its harness, as privileged Reins steer beyond the poverty. All the while screaming about Absolute freedom, while denouncing Absolute accountability. Now most would agree that our Structure, has been a few centuries-long Work-in-progress to create. Yet like most buildings, the labors Are time-consuming, while their Demolition is a much faster fate. In this case though, there's Been a steady erosion, chipping Away at foundations placed along. And while the frame & facade may Appear standing, the interior decor May be empty & all wrong.
