As The Walls Close In



As the walls begin,
To slowly close in.
Squeezing pretensions,
From the ones preparing...
For nothing more but to win, win, win!

Strategies planned to implement intended,
To control.
And have power over rules and laws,
To disobey.
With a replacing of them,
To anticipate an applauding of a downfall.
Will for them not happen at all.

Since a government created,
For the people and by the people.
Are determined to leave,
The uniqueness of its quality...
Left as is to become even greater.
While the culprits,
Disguising themselves...
As descendents,
Of wholesome peace loving saints.
Chosen to make better,
A life for all.
Proven this 'ain't,
On their deceiving minds to do.

Today?
They have begun to face,
Those who are not...
Allowing their credibilities.
Nor integrities on a FastTrack to erase.
For the sake of losing,
The faith of the people.
That a few crooked hoodlums believe,
This direction they will and can take.
Done with a doing to fake,
Themselves to be other...
Than working together secretly,
As a demolition team.

The walls,
Are beginning to close in slowly.
And noticeably squeezing pretensions,
Out from guts of those screaming innocence.
Yet...
The proof and evidence publicly revealed,
Eventually has them all...
Locked up and away in prison cells.
Begging for pardons.
Within thick cemented walls.
Yelling for help!

Although...
No one else can hear them.
Or...
Choose to listen.
Like they did to the people.
Deceived to believe would be left behind!
Blinded without minds to use!
Blinded.
As if permanent fools,
They had made successfully!

'And the power,
The power of the Lord.
Will be to have it seen,
Forever!'
