Kindly he spoke
kindling smooth hype
buoying much hope
at a stroke
Meekly he came
minding not fame
bashing old game
as a shame
Truly we sought
thinking we got
linking much thoughts
to our pots
Strangely we lost
and sadly we cost
vowing this time
despite known costs
to reform
Ha! How do we say "they betrayed us!" without wondering how naive or gullible we've been? You must know some story in this strain: personal, institutional; politics, business; secular, spiritual. Sometimes, a curious and benumbing mix.
Oh! How many hearts have been broken...staying broken...in this or these ways? Speak not. We know.
As for "dreams-personal" and "heights-national"....Gosh, those politicians!!!
