Untitled 1– Challenge The second great war was over Europe had begun to settle After years of fighting under the yoke of the gun People relaxed and seemed in fine fettle. Till the powers-that-be in their wisdom once more Found another ill cause they could follow Communism was now beginning to encroach And all platitude began to ring hollow. All the talks between leaders Peace rallies, hippies man! There would still be bleeders From the ranks of the everyman. We become the fodder of vicious politicians In their eternal struggle for ********** That war became so very cold As it swept from nation to nation. And now amidst their platitudes As night-time follows day The war-dead fodder of yesterday Encroach in dreams to have their say. ©Joe Wilson – Untitled 1…2015 Untitled 2 – Challenge Like fodder we all go to cast our vote As fodder once more, our ideals are smote Times past we were sent as fodder to the gun She lost her husband, he lost his son And yet once more as the enemies approach Politicians embellish and lies encroach Yet no amount of platitude Can change what must now be construed We all are pawns in political aims Sent as fodder in corruptors games As cats get fatter and use platitude The mood turns ugly as the populace brood. ©Joe Wilson – Untitled 2…2015 Untitled 3– Challenge Statistical fodder in propaganda machine The poor portrayed as lazy and obscene While politicos laugh at this weekend’s jolly The vulnerable suffer from yet more absurd folly. While slick party leaders, before cameras, debate In all of the platitude refusing to state That they are the ones who are really to blame As they take creature comforts for themselves in the game. But the time fast approaches when they will be found out As climates encroach that will bring with them, drought And the poor and the weak will still just do their best While the rich will get richer and ****** the rest!! ©Joe Wilson – Untitled 3…2015
