Political Storm
Take due note of high-profile scandals
that inevitably break free to be publicly
aired when one pressed unduly to set
aside her moral authority once assigned
to an official post of seeing justice done
in all its glorious potential, takes umbrage
happens to be resolute and faithful to the
premise that law and order must reflect
equal status of justice meted out to all
so dare not promote interest of self over
justice. Presidents and Prime Ministers
have fallen over time in reflection of just
such attitudes of entitlement in the interests
of evading justice on behalf of the powerful
that have their willing ear balanced
against the threat of economic damage
difficult to sustain in the face of looming
unemployment as elections draw near.
For there are some, once faithful whose
outrage will not be pacified in the face
of urgent solidarity while planning perfidy.
And to those unwilling to compromise an
entire public, informed, is eternally grateful.
