Boiling blood paces the floor of injustice

Justice can’t dawdle forever.

How on earth have you captured the role of vice president?

You blame, shame, and fool around.

I can’t seem to push the shock away.

Corruption climbs a flimsy rope with deceptive biceps.

I lust for a megaphone and everyone’s attention.

Calling the core values back up from the drain that the plunger tried to flush.

A rush of passion and energy,

I give my final prophetic speech,

before I carve off the leech that has been taking my life and dignity.

We will rise above the darkness and harsh organizational changes that sever us each day!
