Images of Power

Fading ideological preferences,
In the face of realities...
Many find difficult to do,
Is coming close to the edge...
Of closure that exposes,
Those who believe their political postering...
Has something to do with integrity.
Or the decency of showing one to be,
Less incompetent...
And more of a human being.

But in times we live today,
Folks who are deluded with sustaining...
Images of power,
Will do so...
Regardless,
If every inch of ground they stand on...
Is shaking!
And crumbling from beneath their feet.
Maintaining a mindset of unpreventable failure...
They would rather keep as a meaningful representation,
Of a weak thought process.
