Moral High Ground Poem by Bruce Calhoun

Once upon a time occupying the moral high ground meant something
It meant you were working for the greater good
It meant your views were based on cherished values
It meant you strived to be upright and humane
Contrast that with our current state of affairs
Contrast that with the unethical behavior of our president
With his disregard for truth and his utter lack of empathy
With his win at any cost philosophy
With his contempt for the moral high ground
Contrast it with your personal beliefs
And vote accordingly
