The Price

Alan Berecka

November 8, 2026


In Texas our leaders, 

and our wannabe be leaders

and all their allies are spending

millions, if not billions of dollars

(dollars that could be spent

on feeding the hungry,

curing the sick, educating

our kids, and who knows

what else), to point fingers

and wallow in the mud

while trying to convince

us that “I’m not a pedophile,

he’s a pedophile,” discourse

that echoes taunts found

on every underfunded Texan

primary school playground.


When it all ends, and the winners

take their seats, it’s a wonder

that they will wonder why no one

seems to trust anything they say.
