When corruption reaches levels

That even present swamps

Cannot contain

There comes a time

To open windows

And expel the source of pain.

You may wish to give new meaning

And claim lies as your own truth,

But even if you abrogate

Alliance

And turn away

From honor, sooth,

It does not undo long history

Nor turn the facts into

Fake news.

Optimistic in nature

Does not mean roseate

For reality may

Introduce caveat

Of the need to remember

Many times of ill fate

While never forgetting

The good we can create.

A trick elicits grins by design

But the smirks are clear sign

Of those who won’t admit

The high cost of deceit.

Not all that splashes

Is worthy

Not all that glitters

Is gold

Beware those

In deepening swamps

Who won’t ethics uphold.

Unbeknownst

To anyone

Pain stripped her bare

Inside her mind.

She put on a brave face

And smiled

So no one see

What hid behind.

But how I pray

She understands

She’s not alone:

Hope’s here to find.

There is no need to bludgeon

To clobber

To hammer it home.

Butting heads is cathartic

But leaves no one informed.

Get points across kindly

For effective reform.

As good things end

And dear friends

Bid farewell,

Sweet and sorrow mix

Into the heart

And air

For things that will no longer be

And all to be remembered,

And for the many wonders

That will continue life

Just as the soul

Intended.

Dedicated with gratitude to all at the Daily Post, on their last day of The Daily Prompts, and the last week of the Weekly Photo Challenge, which along with the Community Pool and First Friday, are closing shop after 7.5 years. I wish them all much success in their future blog-ventures!
