To Maintain Freedom

What smelly thoughts I dredge up from my brain
when I crawl sewer swamp of politics
to comprehend why people must compete
for power to write the laws all should obey.
Could I wash clean my soul in weeping rain,
escaping paradise on River Styx
I might discover secrets of deceit
that motivate how politicians play.
We set the rules to operate the game
that would maintain vibrant democracy
yet tyrants try to benefit their wealth
if we fail to enforce justice for all.
When beaming sunlight will reveal the name
that guides us to defend true liberty
we must employ the technique of lithe stealth
to maintain freedom in our temple hall.
