Hope at the Breaking Point
America waits
each holding his breath
as the Earth crumbles
beneath them.
A cry arises
from the people
who have reached
the breaking point
after a long life
of hardships.
A cry arises
from those who
are drowning
in the woes of
war and poverty.
Sinking
down
down
deeper than they
knew they could go.
Their cries for help
are muffled
and go unheard.
The land of liberty
and wealth
deteriorates
with each passing hour.
The vultures grow
more numerous
circling above
as a sinister merry-go-round.
Watching.
Waiting.
While America holds her breath.
