What does their PHD
tell them other than
they know nothing
yet they will try
to make something
out of nothing
in order to
convince you
that they know
what they're doing
with your ensuing
future
which they will tell
you comes in the form
of a pill you take
three times a day
and watch your
problems simply
fade away
into oblivion
every time
you refill
your prescription...Kelly McManus

Want a sugar coating
then find another poet
to frost your cupcakes...Kelly McManus

They blindly follow
the soulless who'd  launch missiles
to destroy us all...Kelly McManus

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

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
