Betrayal – v2

Betrayal, everything I feared,
coming alive, unfiltered, unfettered,
no guardrails, no adults in the room,
no one to say no to the bully, the tyrant,
only sycophants and yes-men,
all feeding the monster, the demons,
that swarm within his spirit, his body,
evil guiding his words, his actions,
ready to tear everything down…
 
Calling our ally a mere proxy,
a nation indispensable, expendable,
dividing our people against each other,
throwing away our morality, our faithfulness,
the whims of one man, without conscience,
a soulless vessel, a cypher, a nothing,
holding onto raw power, a false might,
deceiving our nation, our people,
that he cares for them when he does not…
 
Betrayal, only getting started,
for our nation, our people, our allies,
all that rely upon on our strength, our resolve,
our willingness to stand in the breach, the gap,
to champion liberty, democracy, freedom,
but he will not accept responsibility,
for his words or for his actions,
turning our people against others,
all those who rely on our strength…
