My Country, Oh My Country!
Prudent through adolescence
it stood settlement
before many a raised fist
in a world that walked with a stick.
Now it warrants wars,
betrays even its own snows,
trades in pounds of its own flesh
listens less and less
to fewer of its people;
its true compass hidden
beneath a devious hand.

I gave up on the electorate almost a half century ago during the Vietnam War debacle. Harsh lesson learned before the age of 21 ; )
