Portrait....Of Democracy....Thus Waylaid Poem by James B. Earley

.....Political....expediency
Presidential indecency
...Mirrored portrait of a society....so....waylaid
The projection
A reflection....
America's image of the morrow now portrayed

...Potent...writings on the wall
Literally tyranny recalled....
Man's inhumanity to man pursued
....Abject messages from the Fuhrer
That reflection in the mirror....
Germany's resurrected past....reviewed

....Heresy at the helm
Mindsets overwhelmed....
Treachery's trajectory thus explored
....."Bogus accusations
Ulterior machinations"....
Nation succumbing to a fallacy once abhorred
*
*
....The projection
A reflection....
America's image of the morrow portrayed
....Nothing clearer
Than its mirror...
That....vivid portrait of democracy...thus waylaid
