Click hereAnger seethes at a lack of compassion,
a country hangs in the balance.
Witnessing brazen goals of politicos
powerful personal vendettas
against puppet regimes
exposes your soft underbelly.
Life ebbs and flows beneath your pen,
dirtily accumulating deception’s baggage;
we are forced to breathe your tainted air.
Instead of taking immediate control
you fake piousity and publicly cover your ass,
blatantly voicing lies and hyperbole.
Blame anarchy creation on poor minorities,
for they didn’t tithe you in November,
but never forget, for they won’t.
And neither will those of us who
walk a path beyond material lies
who see a vision of prosperity,
not bound in the flowing blood of dollars
or machismo’s almighty oil...
Will we have a chance to create anew,
a world of respect and honor
where differing paths can join
and celebrate their uniqueness?
Or will we just be silenced,
like ‘The Big Easy”,
sentenced to live out shared dreams as fantasy?
Look in your black-silvered glass,
check your righteousness at the gate,
blame stares back in disingenuous disguise…

LeBrozover 18 years agoThoughtful,
provocative;
might not agree
with thoughts so revealing;
but certainly no need for comments so disparaging.
sweet GA peachesover 18 years agoof excellent you are.. like those stars that never burn out, your voice of reason will always be respected by me, and those that see your view in the same light. Another fine Piece of Mind, and poetic justice has been served... done well, well done. -sGp-

Anonymousover 18 years agoThe theme here is strong and one that needs to be filtered through the masses that seem to be hypnotized by the green backs that supply their false joys. The structure needs cleaning for I felt that it fades with the condensed and density of the write. Stanzas, breaks will allow the message to soak in to the mind of the reader therefore, creating an energy that bears the truth so many can not face. Nice write J.
