Politics brings out the worst in us,
  if in doubt—turn on the news

The denominator sinking low,
  false prophets in the pews

All lust for privilege, fairness ******,
  as old as man himself

Truth getting buried inside the deck,
   as the bottom card gets dealt

Politics poisons and spoils the well,
  leaving the common good to drown

Our animal natures, where dog eats dog
   —power for sale by the pound

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
