Our Nation
On one side are the conservatives.
Toothless, yet feral towards change.
On the other are the liberals.
Helpers, at the expense of the future of others.
The two as different as day and night.
Yet in some ways the same.
For both of them lie to the people.
Both of them frame the other for power and gain.
Yet why should that surprise us?
Don't we do the same as them too?
We all say to act like good people.
To be a good sport when we lose.
But in the end, I simply believe.
We are all broken, like the hypocrites on Wall Street.
