Audacity!

politics – a silly people - game we play – judgment of others – with prejudice – we try to sway

great influence – is used to distort and slant – our –“in times” – which we then see – with only a stinted glace

we follow along without reason or rhyme – never checking the facts – what are our “in times” or “seasons”

like a herd of sheep – off to the slaughter – we gather in masses – with no leader – yet we follow

our masses – they gather – with cries – loud and clear – we want to follow – just make the path clear

with narrow-mindedness and preconceptions at hand – we look at our foes – with injustice – in hand

we cry out – yet we slander – all that we see – with no comprehension – that you and I make a – we

then we ask – that our leaders – make us as one – a community of peoples – with a rival - of none

those who cry loudest – will be heard – on this day – with righteous indignation – and hearts do we play

politics – this silly people – game - we do play – with the souls of others – no cares – now kept at bay

the winners in one hand – the loser – in defeat – who cares what the people think – because we follow in masses – with leaders – known not – only seen through the rose colored glasses

the glasses we choose – so not to see – because we are – followers – of the leaders - that be

never caring – and - without understanding – the slaughter is at hand – we the people – have now chosen – the lesser - of evils

the communities of people – that we say – that we are – are just sheep to slaughter – of the politics we play

all of these games – we say make us – one – really just  selfishness – when the day is done

Why?

Because we have the audacity to say that – WE WON!
