inchoate

steadfast in stupidity
clinging to inchoate conclusions
hoping to make reality
of delusions
by force of will alone
but winding back the clock
doesn't change the time
disingenuous in belief
ignoring the grief
of those
who by your inaction,
coercion or cowardice
are left still weeping
or soon to weep
you take the money
and break the promise
you made to keep
Justice, Tranquility
and general Welfare
lost to greed and warfare
and motivated by fear
not for your safety
but losing your seat
at a table you've made obsolete
