Once a proud nation
That was indivisible
And spoke proudly of
Liberty and Justice
For all,
Whose Representatives
Were sent to Congress
To advocate for
The needs of
The People,
Great men of honor
And men who knew
The value of civility
And made it their duty
To lead this nation
And resolve differences,
Now stands in disarray.
My heart aches
For the tattered flag
That now flies in the
Halls of Congress
Where men
Have forgotten
Their sacred duty
To protect and uphold
The Constitution
Of these United States.
Instead these men come
Filled with the need
To fight for their own
Self-centered interests.
They seek to slander
Those who are different.
They make up untruths
To confuse the people
They once proudly served.
They refuse to work together
For the common good.
They don’t seem to care
That people do matter.
They have all lost sight
Of becoming men
Of great honor.
