A Muddy Eden


What happened to this Eden,

Flawed from the start?

High ideals penned on parchment,

Then cracks appeared

And widened through the decades.


The face of Liberty,

And purity's facade,

Flags waving over amber fields.


The flag wrinkled.

The face withered.

And purity decayed,

An inner, twisted decay

Behind white pillars.


Platitudes muffled

The murmurs of corruption

Hid the dirty hands 

Exchanging payment.



Check her out.
