It’s Election Time again
and I could care less
about the candidates,
or the “race”.
There are other problems
we haven’t yet dealt with.
What about the hungry,
or those without blankets,
constantly staying iced to
warm up their blood, as well as
their hearts.
With America’s swap of
caring about people
to their inward shift of self-indulgence,
and greediness.
Politicians screaming lies.
False hopes
for the “free” America.
Put in office
changing minds and morals,
“Retracting statements”,
taking back their word,
wordlessly.
Feeding the hungry public
with individual grains of rice.
Letting us have just enough to hold on,
our freedom has gone involuntarily astray,
and we are the sheep lead to the slaughter.
Blinded by our own gluttony!
For a tiny piece of rice?
But no longer.
Remember,
the government should fear us,
'by the people, for the people'.
It’s time to erase the brain washing.
It’s time to stand up in the Land of the Free.
Unless you already think
America really is ‘the land of the free’ indeed.
Until then, we’ll see
exactly how far we can fall.
This time
it could be endless.
