Rationalizing - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

I keep rationalizing my life way
In some magic hope that soon a day
Will find me filled with sweet release
With no more anger, just calming peace
That those whose goals are so malevolent
Are brought to justice by truth self-evident
That righteous claims of higher ground
Are inane bluster and moron sounds
That deciding fate for this great nation
Needs someone who knows the obligation
To help us all seek better lives
Not someone who will marginalize
The weak, the poor, the dispossessed
Those downtrodden and oppressed
No hypercritical pandering
Nor obfuscational slandering
Will keep us from our journey's goal
To save this country's tarnished soul
