Who Speaks Now

The educational forest has thickened I can't see the forest from the trees, are they Republican or Democrat? voices once spoke out without a doubt a lost message loud and clear for change, those voices have since been silenced by the onslaught of time and age, untempered truths. Who speaks now? Is it only the loudest voices shouting bullies and the braggarts who wave and aggrandized their failures as achievements, the gray men staunch in their self-centered ways unwinding progress and holding time hostage to the dreams and successes of yesterday, the future of possibilities. These are the times that try men's souls looking back and tossing out the compromise of a warring world seeking peace and conjoined hands where power-hungry individuals take charge not to lead but to satisfy, enrich and praise themselves above all others; one giant step for the political bureaucracy no small steps for the average man. America is better than this.
