BENEATH THE SPIN • ERIC L. WATTREE
The Messenger
He stepped from the mist,
eloquent and bold,
a message from our forefathers,
and the dreams they foretold.
.
He spoke of honor and courage,
and the ideals we embrace,
the trials left before us
that he assured us we’d face.
.
Poised for greatness
against enemies of yond,
against enemies of yond,
but oblivious to within
from those we were warned.
.
Peace and civility
is his motto and plan,
convinced that such tactics
will appeal to all men.
.
But brilliance aside,
and with respect to his creed,
he’s not fighting mere men,
and corporations don’t bleed.
.
