Challenge
Write about something that is acceptable to society.
Acceptable to some but not to me
They speak of freedom
While stripping them away
Slowly
One layer at a time
They spin lies as news
Pandering to ignorance
Spreading hate and fear
While speaking the same ideas
they say they are against
Pulling the wool over their eyes
Saying it is for the good of us all
They throw petty criminals in jail
As mass murders roam the street
Hand them a badge
And set them free
Money speaks louder than words
Lining their pockets
Corruption consumes
As the thieves take their thrones
Surrounded by cronies
Whispering fallacies into their ear
All the while
We sit idly
Waiting for something to change
