Music is playing
I am writing
News max is on TV
My mind slows down
I think of the songs
The styles of the artists
They do a great job
I hear the fraud exposures
Hundreds of witnesses
Swearing to the truth
Under the penalty of perjury
I wonder where it’s going
“I’m Your Man” is sung
In a Leonard Cohen style
But as Clinton said
Close, but no cigar
Thinking about the world
I get a sinking feeling
How does all the corruption
Exist to the extent it does?
The need for power
Dictators love to control
The music is soft and soothing, but
Deep down I have a sick stomach
I do not feel secure
With the possibility
That our country can
Survive under socialism
Governors are learning
Because of Covid-19
That fiats are useful
In controlling people
Violators are jailed or fined
While criminals are set free
Because of Covid concerns
They are free to break real laws
The television is turned off
And the CD is finished
I put down my pen
Say a prayer to God
Ask for His guidance
We must preserve the
Last hope for freedom
