Do we deserve better – v2

I hear the words of others

in conversation, in community,

the words that come to my mind,

“Do we deserve better

than the choice before us;

How did we end up

with such damaged, broken people

to lead, to guide our nation

that we love, that we hold dear;

Do we deserve better,

do we really, truly,

when we have been divided

as a people as a nation?”

Sowing Seeds of Deception – v5

Into the soil of our doubts, or fears,

sowing seeds of deception

in patterns of behavior,

in the shifting sands of numbers,

ever moving beneath our feet

Changing the truths, the facts,

something which should be immutable;

new information coming

beyond the last hour

new seeds in the dust

Interpretations written, conveyed,

seeking different understanding;

nothing known generally

the still public unawares

that which is written on shifting sands

Raising concerns within us,

a history of doubt growing, fears,

whether there is thought in these

or if innocence prevails;

some frustrations almost palpable
