Orator,
fiction-teller,
great commander in chief;
So noble your quest of
Re-election,
Presenting pretty political poetry
But we don’t mind
Lie to me
As you lead me
Oh, noble politician,
Credibility only expected in consumer ability
Priorities

Great Chess Player
Moving pawns, perpetual playing
Limitless supply of sacrifices
Die for your country,  he says,
That’s patriotism!

The most patriotic of them all
I shall,
hold down the fort
On my,
Noble quest of forming fictitious fantasies
American supremacy, idiocracy
Stand beside her, and guide her, through the night till she reaches he target on sight

Responsibility? Don’t be silly
Scapegoat culture is the reality
Get in line for the American Dream,
That’s it, fall in line,
On the horizon
Ill wait, I’ve got Verizon
Do you hear me now?

Hook me in, turn me off, drug me up and let me down
I’m numb anyway

Its all in the promotion
Mass manipulation, solicitation
Don’t worry we can fix you, quick fix, step right up
Too fat? Too fast? Too slow”
Throw these back – now your on a right track

Tune in-turn off- tranquilized
Text, tweet, technology
Whatever you do
Just
Don’t
     Think   (rise for the pledge)

The clock stands still
I threw back a pill
Numbness seeps in
Anxiety loosens to be thin
Racing mind freezes mid-track
The stomach-pitted sorrow starts to go black
Pain of the truth of the world seeps out
A shiver down my back
Peace setting in to stay & play…
         ..I’m never going back..

religious book in hand
bury it the sand
global gathering
Intolerance must be stopped insight
Love and compassion must ignite
Separation worn thin its light
Keeping development alight
Friends without fears
Dry away the tears
Begin to open ears
Lines between soon un-drew
Erased to start a-new
Masses rise above
Oppression replaced with love

— The End —
