What have we become?
Both sides are fatally flawed.
We–the laughingstocks!
Politics are the cancer
Eating our nation alive.
Are we to perish,
Fading into history
Like Rome’s empire;
Remembered for its grandeur
Through its crumbling ruins?
Perhaps it’s too late,
Our experiment–a dream
May evaporate
Becoming just a footnote
In the annals of mankind.

I stand up then fall
Like a toddler past his prime
Every step my first
I suppose life works this way
Until the day of our death

Confusion…
Cacophony of sights and sounds
Soupy mixture
A distasteful bombardment
Inescapable…
Every turn a stone wall
Pounding and punishing
Piercing flesh
Drawing blood
Fracturing bone
Draining every last drop of energy
Pushing back
Nothing but resistance
Drenched in sweat
Eyes sting
Bloodshot from strain
Head in hands
Driven to tears
Trapped…
Beaten into submission
Giving up
You win
