The Mendocracy
by DCDave

Upon a grasp of history
We must all depend
Before the latest treachery
We can comprehend.

When the highest level crimes
Are left to go unsolved,
It leaves the social covenant
Virtually dissolved.

We're no longer governed by
An aggregate of peers.
As measured by their lawlessness,
They're more like buccaneers.

That they should use a tested tool
Should come as no surprise,
Abetted by the media
They've wrapped themselves in lies.

David Martin
