POLITICIANS ARE NEAR

HELLO, THIS IS 2008, A NEW YEAR,
TIME TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE FEAR,
I FAIL TO SEE ANY REASONS TO CHEER,
THE POLITICIANS ARE NEAR AND ISN'T IT JUST SO CLEAR THAT THEY KEEP US DIVIDED?
"DIVIDED WE FALL", IS WHAT OUR ILLUSTRIOUS ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE SAID,
WHY CAN'T POLITICIANS REALIZE THAT WE MUST WORK TOGETHER, EVERYDAY, FOR THE GREATER GOOD,
MAYBE, THEY DO, BUT SOMEHOW, IT SEEMS TO BE LOST IN HAVING OUR SOLDIERS DIE IN VAIN,
"HOPE" POLITICIANS SAY IS IN A WORD, CALLED "CHANGE",
"GOD"PLEASE KEEP US WHOLE AND NOT DIVIDED, THAT IS, IF ONE CAN REALLY BELIEVE IN PRAYER,
FOR, AS RIGHTEOUS, AS WE THINK WE ARE; WE FAIL MISERABLY IN THE "ACT", THIS NEW YEAR. WRTTEN 1-31-08 P. MONTOYA
