Silence Speaks Volumes

Poem by: Mike S.
A false profit surrounded by a court of pathetic.
who turn their eyes away,
as he staggers blind and
power-mad from day to idiotic day
Put staying in control ahead of our welfare,
What good are they? WE
THE PEOPLE rings hollow in their ears,
tone-deaf and consumed by greed, they hold the key
to our kingdom, they're sad enablers, complicit in his crimes
They're the true guilty ones, giving power to his throne
By staying silent, and by wielding a rubber stamp,
Guilt by inaction, insanity they condone

Nice one, Mike.
