When the truth flees the sphere
Of those who power corrupts
And the lies become leaders’ way
To disrupt,
It behooves us to hold strong
To not let those confound
As we keep our eyes on
A true moral ground:
To be firm
To be kind
To keep light
In our mind,
And to not get swept up
In the feverish flow
Of those who prefer we
Give up and
Let go
Of core truths
And the law,
And forget how
Foreshadowed
In wisdom galore
Founders sought separation
Of powers before
And checks out to balance
Against tyrannical war,
Predicting the day
When ambition to rule
Would rise in someone
Who’d attempt to befool
And try to prop
Lies for a flop
And our constitution
For corruption
To swap.
