Lip service to the masses,
he makes his promises known -
that he may keep them
is a chapter not yet written

When all faith is lost
and the crowds want blood,
it will take more than
a one man show to stop
the ever growing vines
of bitterness and hate

He must gather in the folds,
push light into the forefront
as we ready for confrontation,
determined to win back the right
to define freedom and justice,
for all
