Tainted Modulation

imposters
counterfeit heralds
soil once influential emblems
leaving bad taste
bad impressions
�
self-awareness
the key to �
fairness
yet minature characters
inhabit congressional chambers
perptuate exchanges
leaving de-ranged
shortchanges
�
damaged replicas
aint the real thing
diminished over time
remnants prevent
Freedom`s ring
�
power is never relinqueshed
it`s perpetrator`s aides
act as enablers
coaches projecting
convincing impersonations
which carbon constituents
register as �
genuine advocacy
�
stability fluctuates
amid dearth �
of liar extinguishers
masses morph,
modify, modulate
to the point
of mutated tempers
muted
�
persistance
a distant memory
fatalists withdraw
no longer �
recognize the fray
not quite sure
the good fight
can be fought
in future days
