Rundown Railroad

America where are you?

Great railroad long turned the page of a century and more. Promising transportation as multitudes grasped the reins.
The wobblies fell prey to scabs
as scabs did what they had to do for a living.

A precarious situation for both need the means.
Right means wrong and wrong means right.
All about who gets there first only to fall victim to the next.

Humanity is an opportunist.
Everything is done fine if it need not apply to itself.
Rules applied to those seen yet invisible.
Apparently a cut above the rest.
Keep the soapbox.
Watch and transcend a dual platform.
Funny how life makes a way.

Words are words.
Actions are actions.
Day to day.
Night to night.

You glorify your faction and oppress the opposite view.
A side effect known as totalitarianism.
No one made you God of anything.
Nothing gives you the right to condemn the abstract,
an artwork you care not to know.
Life would be sweeter if one just kept to themselves,
the trivial secrets that should remain unseen.

There's a time to stand, a time to stay quiet.
A time to observe and a time to serve.
A time to live, a time to love.
A time to sit and a time to stand.
A time to win, a time to lose.
A time to fight and a time for peace.

It should be done as brothers and sisters,
regardless of differiatiating views.
Does it take another tragedy before we as a nation raise arms together?

If that's the case,
we really are screwed.
Just another rundown railroad.

I know this could ruffle some feathers and I apologize for it's not my intention. This is just how I see it.
