ESPRIT DE CORPS

no matter what happens
someone has to toe the line
there's so much at stake
in disclosing the grand design
the truth will jeopardize
the schemes of those on top
to keep the status quo
the chief has to pass the buck

moving with every stride
enduring the pain I feel
need to get a second wind
as I run up or downhill
no matter where I go
i will never be alone
the road will be my witness
as i journey towards home

RANDOM #8

though unfazed by the outrage
he has lesser shots to call
if the damage control fails
his head's going to roll

RANDOM #7

running at my pace
chasing  after no one
with more breathing space
the journey will be more fun

knowing where to go
knowing when to proceed
once I get my second wind
then I can increase my speed

running at my chosen time
I can afford to be late
being free to set the distance
I will seal my own fate

RANDOM #6

a nation in euphoria
now in a state of grief
blame game is the tune
of the commander-in-chief
claiming credit for victory
looking for scapegoats in defeat
exploiting peace as a shield
to protect his politics of deceit
