Dinosaurs still roam the Earth

Strong they spoke, their hearts on fire
Two good men
One in the Senate on American soil
The other before his flag of yellow and blue
One for over twenty-five hours
The other fearless of those punitive powers
Who seek his countries ruin.
Righteous Indignation!
When good people rise up and
Say what needs to be said
The Truth! The Truth!
And when it is spoken
The anger gates open
Of those whose conscience is pricked – 
And bombs are sent
Tariffs are levied
Honest people are sacked
Stalwart souls are harried
Because the truth pierces the hide
Of seekers of prehensile thrills
Extending domains
Of land and wealth
Their only raison d'être – 
There is, after all, a base line tendency
The selfish gene in its ascendancy
To gather all to itself
And feast upon the plunder.
The concept of 'civilised man'
Who seeks The Good; The Just; The True
Is here not found – 
And dinosaurs still roam the earth
