The Progressive Highway!

By L. Don Oliver

Rust covered broken plow,

Painted over by a monetary now,

Is what they constantly _______;

Nothing from nothing,

Will beget something;

Is what they wish us to _______;

      

And the Progressive Highway

Continues!

If never to awake,

To the tactics they take,

Blowing smoke into a _____;

The slight of hand tricks,

The pain that it inflicts,

Upon a programmed _____;

      

And the Progressive Highway

Continues!

Will we ever take pride,

Instead of seeking to hide,

From their continuing _____;

No, we will acquiesce,

To their final behest,

And always follow the ____;

      

And the Progressive Highway

Continues!

Brave soldiers who have died,

They lay there and cry,

From the gradual reforming ____;

Crying deep within their soul,

For the loss of their goal;

Their sacrifice was all in ____;

      

And the Progressive Highway

Continues!

Truth!

By L. Don Oliver

Truth thy brilliant ray is shining,

It glows through the darkened night;

Offering meaning for existence,

Rendering reason to the light;

The Flaming Arrow of Deceit,

Is arching through the air;

Swiftly spinning upon it's flight,

Descending to who knows where;

When honesty becomes extinct,

In the Valley of the kings;

It's truth that gives solace,

For what tomorrow brings,
