Words and Promises

Written By Laurence Musgrove

Words and promises

ingrained into our hearts

Constitutional freedoms

expressed by founding fathers

To ensure equality

where    

here

how

When our supreme leaders

seem to take

us back in time

Past hard pressed

victories

Take an oath for life

then 

Lie
