By the Wayside

"Where is the dignity unless there is honesty?" Cicero

BY THE WAYSIDE

Where has it gone, the pride?

What does our government have to hide?

They live under a cloak of conspiracy, cover-ups, no accountability.

Where has it gone, the honor?

The face of truth we garner?

Lies have become their calling card, their billboard, and with disregard

Where has it gone, the patriotism?

The tears we shed when the flag has risen?

Gone for fear of retribution, for standing on The Constitution

Where will we be ten years from now?

Self sufficient or don't know how?

Victims of a welfare state, divided with a sense of hate

Where has it gone, the dignity

Head held high, integrity

It has gone by way of Obama's plan, from once industrious to a broken man
