You say you have faith
then take a good look around
who leads your leaders...Kelly McManus

World in the mirror
could it be better than here
reflecting on that...Kelly McManus
Kelly McManus Nov 2021
The worlds greatest minds
can't seem to find
a cure for war
guess they're
not so great
after all
and I have to laugh
when I see them sign
their big tobacco
endorsement checks
the worlds greatest minds
don't mind
turning on a dime
or doctoring reports
to improve exports
for those whos
moral compasses
always point to worth
at the expense
of planet earth
never seem to find
the worlds greatest minds
in the unemployment line
cause they don't mind
being subsidized by the
think tank gas lines...Kelly McManus

United we stand
then why is there two parties
dividing us all...Kelly McManus
Kelly McManus Nov 2021
Your children are going
to places unknown
on a need to know basis
they'll never return home
so mothers and fathers
teach them how to march
so in a few years
they can depart
after kissing
their sweethearts
goodbye
they'll be off to fight
to keep the gas
pumps ringing and
diamonds on fingers
blinging while they're
wondering why their
leaders don't get
the electric chair
for what goes on
over; over there...Kelly McManus

World's so desolate
in the middle of nowhere
they won't find us here...Kelly McManus
Kelly McManus Nov 2021
What happens to
the no ones
that no one knows
that no one
will remember
or hear them cry
no one cares
when no one's left
to tend
to their affairs
no one thinks
about the no ones
until they become
one themselves
and no one
can be found
to put no one
into the ground
and forget
no one was
ever around...Kelly McManus
