Broken Promises

Clouds of darkness - Little light filtering through
As a drizzle from above washes everything it touches,
The rays of the sun that nourishes life
Fail to fall upon me - Blocked by a wall of darkness,
Corruption - Lies - Inhumanity - Overflowing
As a kettle boils over it's own capacity;
How can we accept words of gentleness - Kindness
From those that are heartless and barren
Who ask for trust than it nonexistent - Falling
On deaf dears and blind eyes of self serving interest,
Words that fall like snow blanketing the ground
That soon passes as the snow melts on a warm day,
A trust than it nonexistent to those that hear the cry
From a people who have lost a voice to deaf ears.

We the people - A people with hopes - Dreams and vision
Who have suffered hardships - Toil and pain
Having shed blood for their beliefs and truths;
We the people - a people with a forgotten voice
Betrayed by those seeking trust and leadership
Taking us down a path of falsehood and broken promises.
