Life goes on; life goes on
Sometime I want to run away
Events running smoothly
Start to diminish
Right before my eyes
I hold my focus, but
Cannot sway others to the truth

A broken body; a broken heart
Answers so clear are ignored
Suggestions put aside for now
Lamentations about what is wanted
Repeated monthly with no action
The thing to do is evident, but
Continued to be ignored

Action is not taken, which
Would clear the air
Reasoning so absurd
It wants to make me cry
Hoarders are hoarders
Will not listen to solutions
Delay, put off; then excuses

It is not a vengeance tar-dive
But where did the thinking go
A cart in front of an old horse
A requiem just around the corner
Sacred oaths do not matter
To those seemingly in control

They utter their vitriol
Then go into perpetual downtime
Or a flight with only one wing
Landing back where clutter is the king
The fog will not clear
However long the wait

I hate to say goodbye, but I will
I shot the moon, achieved my goal
Then told it was all in vain
Watch people express sadness
Walk out empty handed
Praying that it doesn’t rain

Now they’re gone
What does it matter?
They had their say
You heard their chatter

Their influence like vapor
Evaporation of the power
Coolly leaving behind
Just a few with sorrow

Who were the affected?
How deep the furrow?
Myth becomes truth
Legend imitates a tower

Soon the meaning is gone
If it ever was there
The memory is lost
Who would really care?

The block of life that counts
Is not the cornerstone
But the love in every brick
And how it was shown

Affected every soul it touched
In a quiet sort of way
Not worrying about tomorrow
Living for today

How it manifested thanks
For the precious gift of being
Gave back a hundred-fold
Before the final leaving

There are those so convinced
That liberalism or socialism is
The very best thing that could
Happen in this country

They basically want
Without deep consideration
For everyone to live in
A state of equal misery nation

Where do they come from?
These ideas that seem so grand
Is it the breakdown in morality?
Or the need to lead a band

They slap down our President
Because of words he has said
Name one predecessor who
Has had a perfect resume, so sad

He loves this country and
Did not have to serve, and wealth
did not stand in his way. He stood up
And proclaimed we could be more stealth

He was one of twenty, but survived
Ran against corruption and
The American people took his side
Much to the dismay of the chosen

Impeachment was the goal, before
He took his oath. He had an agenda
And proceeded to accomplish more
Than anyone thought he could

He had insiders against him, people
From both sides of the aisle
The fake news press could not acknowledge
Anything he did that was good

Soldiers are happier, our forces stronger
Taxes lowered, regulations reversed
A wonder among the men of his day
And still he is daily cursed
