Sirens


I see America cheating

as when in the Nineties
their president lied and philandered
but laughed it off
and people felt they could or should
drive through red lights
for they too could lie

so since November’s fraudulence
many pull out into moving traffic
for they too can cheat
others who must swerve or brake
to avoid destruction

some are growing angry
enough at least to clip a cheater
often I hear sirens

(Though posted in Misc, suggestions on how to clarify the message are appreciated.  Yes, I see a lot of this these days.)
