Old Man And Me

Run from What?
We have a constitution
That shows up
This fundamental law
Of our country
Purpose
Not a 
Despot’s circus
Structure
That embraces
Our grand culture
Our Rights
Not something
That incites
And frights
With a heavy price
Key principles:
Separation
Of powers
Checks and balances
Federalism
Popular sovereignty 
And individual rights
These are
Everything
That they wants to
Put into the night
Stow it away
And replace it
With fright
While stealing with 
His paper gangsters’ might
Stop the lie
Stop the steal
Of a
Pint
Size 
Rooster
That isn’t real
The ability
To direct
My own belief
The freedom to live
In the application
What they preach
Is what they beseech
The original idea
Is what should 
Be reached
The foils 
That recoil
