Talk Heard Around Any Dinner Table

Now!--relinquish all your torches,
No hand-offs to overt obscenity;
Don't dare defer any idle forces,
To garner accusational indemnity.

Now are the moment's reckoning,
Chin to chin, belly to belt-buckle;
Time to call bluff now impending,
Down to the grit n' bare-knuckle.

Sheer strings on puppet-politicos,
Challenge all the prevailing inertia;
Repaint a Capitol's hallowed walls,
No pass of crisis to future absentia.

This's razor's edge in gallant gleam,
To gut tyranny's slow-bleeding suck;
Lower noose on revelation's scheme,
No more extension passing a buck.

Do it for your children if not yourself,
Can you hand innocence to slavery?
Take that constitution off dusty shelf,
Show posterity meaningful bravery.
