Beyond The View of King Lear (poem)

Should King Lear come snooping around for a crime he'd be pleased
For this age has so many on the raft rifting out schemes
Where beggars have sordid baggage and captain this old ship
And sad the tales be told of such covetous leadership

It seems secrets are required  like needles in a haystack
And the Unwashed are only a thought of fools on sound track
Elections are silenced with parades of mutated fears
As delayed news of torn red tinsel so sadly appears

Cry wolf like a mantra and dust off precepts of dark light
Unexorcised contradictions meant to steal all that's right 
With compassionate quotidian the lies shroud and mist
Egregious fictional cause for war's blatant bloody gist

Crisis after crisis the vulgar man makes his grim play
With no repentance for deceptive words that gnaw and flay
Into the limelight where quagmire touches and then unfolds
Truth was not his gospel nor never found his heart of stone

Predators excessive zeal to befriend their only cause
To make money from this unjust war and then lose it all
If this is love of country then a traitor needs not to fear
These men have damaged our honor and are the cause of tears

Fallacy after fallacy  in our nation's blue soul
Ownership society another lie profanely told
Trade agreements like promises left building twisting holes
To devour the decent middle class and foreclose their home

Fear mongering animals like bullies wanting to slight
All that's good and decent and the concept truth is our right
Justice without mercy has never been part of our land
Undermining our Democracy insults our freedom
