Welcome to My Poetry Site
Keeping Freedom Alive
It's a comedy of errors…
the clowns and actors inside
When for two millennia,
they served to amuse and abide
The patriots and righteous
once made all the laws
But now the Halls of Congress
by their presence are flawed
Through political correctness,
the blind pretend that they see
With our future in peril,
they laugh at our pleas
A carnival sideshow
they make of the truth
As the press and the movies
back up what's uncouth
They lie in our face
with the darkest of plans
Their excuses in concert
now leading the band
Like the rats in the cellar
and the bats in the barn
To the hills we must drive them
where they can do no more harm
And the power repositioned
among the brave and the wise
Who care first for their country
