same ‘ole rhetoric
are you really listening
change will be coming
not in way you think
we are standing on the brink
mindless plans in force
different face and name
standard game with not a change
traditions in course
treading toward the way
of the doomed on judgment day
herded now like sheep
richest of nations
pay for abominations
deep in debt is she
called to task for greed
living way beyond her need
others envy her
when they seek their fill
they will grasp and they will kill
nothing will suffice

Author notes
All the politico rambling & my Bible Studies brought this on. This is constructed with the 'Traditional' 5/7/5 count, but there's rhyme [which shouldn't be] & no real attempt at the 'aha' moment. I'm acting as a reporter here in contemporary terms. Please don't sue me! 
Was going to add scripture, but I make so many scriptural allusions that I'd be here all night referencing them & it'd be another book on The Book! 
How'm I doin'? [Reward: double points]

Senryu Chain. Came upon this & realized I wrote this back in August when I was already tired of all the political rumbling. I was surprised at what I'd written back then. Time flies.
