It’s a comedy of errors…   the clowns and actors inside When for two millennia,   they served to amuse and abide The patriots and righteous   once made all the laws But now the Halls of Congress   by their presence are flawed Through political correctness,   the blind pretend that they see With our future in peril,   they laugh at our pleas A carnival sideshow   they make of the truth As the press and the movies   back up what’s uncouth They lie in our face   with the darkest of plans Their excuses in concert   now leading the band Like the rats in the cellar   and the bats in the barn To the hills we must drive them   where they can do no more harm And the power repositioned   among the brave and the wise Who care first for their country   —keeping freedom alive (Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)

Keeping Freedom Alive
