Two Parties, One Lie...

The Nobility of Man is lost
     within the machinations
     of the Political Beast,
     devouring Truth
     and replacing it
     with sleight of hand
     and smoke and mirrors...
The System fails
     because it doesn't see
     the need to exist as one's self;
     it sees what must be resisted,
     the turning from the whole,
     the individuality of Man...
Don't think outside the box,
     crush it, burn it
     and let the smoke rise
     as an offering from the Altar
     to gods long abandoned,
     gods with faults and emotions,
     who ruled, not always wisely
     but open and honestly...
The Time has come to pray
     to ourselves, our Souls,
     to realize our faults
     and change them,
     to admit to our errors
     and make amends,
     not hide our mistakes
     and bury them,
     hoping they are down
     deep enough
     that the stink does not rise...
Open your eyes to the Truth,
     show those in Power
     that you see through their Lies,
     let the gleam in your eyes
     scare them back into the Shadows,
     into the Darkness
     from whence they came...
Don't play their Game;
     change what you can
     and ignore what you don't need,
     take what you know
     to be true and use it
     to lead you to where
     you know you should be
     and take those
     who believe as you
     and create the place,
     the World you need
     and the Fools and Liars
     bleed slowly away...
