Tormented Times

Insincerely and purposely We are lied to, Being taken for fools! In an Ocean Of floundering lies Swayed back and forth By disingenuous tides, Helplessly distraught, By nightmarish cries! Black lilies, Were painted white To dissimulate and hide The tide that will, Engulf us all. Now the serpent is fed And free to spread The poisonous narrative, Throughout the land, And there are none To stop it from rearing Its ugly, destructive head. As our nation slips and slides Going down, In a catastrophic and hideous Way, While political, stonemen, Stand there, having nothing To say..... Not even trying To stop the tide That will eventually Take all, Blood, sweat and tears So historically played And lived Far, Far, Away.
