"plutocracy" poems
No country’s history makes us proud. It is mere exploitation and colonization. the poor were suppressed and oppressed. The rich reveled in utmost luxury And the weak lived in extreme penury. The kings were fond of eulogy And the poets excelled themselves in their elegy. In the countries like India, the money was looted the temples were plundered, and the system was blundered And her progress was greatly hindered Slowly the kings and kingdoms vanished the so called democracies and socialism flourished the bureaucracy and plutocracy replaced autocracy Corruption and criminality maintained their status quo After Independence, a new class emerged in India. They became the rulers in the name of democracy. There have been un-imaginable scandals Money reached the Swiss bank like pearls in the ocean India is a poor country but the Indians are rich

DEMOCRACY-PLUTOCRACY-BUREAUCRACY
American Democracy is setting a trend: American Democracy is a Sitcom, or perhaps a Game Show of demagogic, narcissistic sociopaths tricking and manipulating the Public via various sources in a highly consolidated Media industry into thinking they vote for a particular flavor of Tyranny when in reality Today's flavor of Tyranny is all decided for you because the burden of Choice is far too stressful for the Moderner without proper medication, and the power of Choice may require some sort of educated critical Thinking, some sort of re-edification which is far too much for us to handle in this socially sanctioned doped-up state and with such an intentionally failing Education system from K through 12 and beyond. With American Democracy, We have a grand Illusion of Choice. It's so convincing that many believe the Illusion is True. (Sort of like hew we think of Reality, but with Choice of Government!) For American Democracy, They don't want mass Education. They don't want mass Edification. They don't want Critical Thinking; Those things prevent a Control by few. In American Democracy, They intentionally destroy progresses made, like Rights, They perpetuate stigmas about things like genders and the concept of "race" itself They propagate Terror as their Sheeple scream from the sidelines for more They defile the sanctity of Human Experience, of Reality itself and chain us to a system that benefits only a few while destroying everything else, like Climate and Environment. These Demagogues are Satan, if Satan is real: They tempt us with the things we don't need, filling us with Stress, Desires, Prejudices and Fears, and ceaselessly wage war on institutions of Education, all the while keeping us from finding the things we already have within each of us. This System of American Democracy has degraded into a  corrupted fractal of the ages-old ways of Tyranny and Terror: Aristocracy, Plutocracy, Patriarchy, Oligarchy, Kleptocracy, Demagoguery, Bankocracy, Corporatocracy, Fascism; Tell me, What is the ******* difference? I mean, even Adolf ****** was elected democratically under the pretense of "Change" then, for weeks later, suspended civil rights indefinitely after a likely false-flag 'attack' on the Reichstag in 1933, (for which the Nazis blamed the communists.) under the pretense of "Security": Demagoguery runs Amok Among disedified Minds. They say "Freedom" and "Democracy" as if it vindicates their Totalitarianism.

Can you please save me? I am drowning. I am drowning in the land of the free and home of the... (wait, what was that last part again?) We had so much potential... We saved the world. We cared for it gently. Now that has been shoved to the side. I am drowning in this dystopian plutocracy. I can't breathe over the advertisements. My lungs are filled with empty words.

Save Me
Subjugated by the Not-so-loyal subjects: Mind | Body | Spirit Incongruencies None knowing their place Poor leadership I'll bet I can mind my way to a better place Better try Plutocracy So I grant citizenship To my cunning and intellect It works but After a time vibrancy Fades So I call in Spirit In the spirit of Theocracy Spiritual matters prevail But I've forgotten to eat For two days So I give Body A seat at the table Now we have a democracy Or do we? Remnants of the Plutocracy Gave cunning a vote So we reorganize Into a meritocracy < - - 3 pools - - > Mind ~ Body ~ Spirit 3 votes Something still isn't working So I ruminate Think Pray Chastise And turn things upside Down A king should be subjugated The best leadership Is invisible A True leader Follows Their own path I (the person) am ground I am the intersect I am the crossroads for Mind ~ Body ~ Spirit I am the King And I Follow

Baffled King
There was a big boom once Population dynamics are intrin- sic functions of gumption and big booms echo in eternity. I look at the industrial revolution through infrared filters to parameterize the haze of our lives using a kaleidoscope landmarking technique andor technology where the function of plutocracy (and it is taking shape) while it resonates on post-reformations and pre-modernisms How do you like them schizms? Living the religion of capital ~ ism and paying homage on prayer mats of blood ~ sweat ~ and 1, 2 many beers through our blue collar dollars and masonry jars and crossroads guitars (and between the bars) of our own creation. Now moving toward remediation and un-plebiation. I cried vermouth and reconciliation while they expunged truth and trylobytes. The inevitability always bubbles up. And in the trailer park of our lord: 2017 Ricky and Julian and Bubbles pay homage to a great poet lost: Mr. Lahey. (within the mystery of our own creation) Thus we toast to: The Theatre of Life

Freedom or Free Doom? we're under the same sun but live by a different moon; "America, my America why have you gone away?" a common thing to say in this strange and dark new day "America, my America where do you lie today?" in the memories of those who've come and passed away "America, my America why have you gone astray?" because I only exist in stories of those who Rule the day, textbook tales recount great men and quill pens but ignore the larger story of illiterate Farmer Ben "America, my America what have you got to say?" only that I'm sorry that my symbol striped and starry has held far too much sway what if our "democracy" has always been a plutocracy and the "genius" Founding Fathers were just a new aristocracy wouldn't that be the most awful hypocrisy? if the story of my birth is just as much a lie as the tale of creation by an old man in the sky then why, oh why do they continue to cry "America, my America my country tis of thee" when in fact I never was the place they want to be Americans, my Americans why do you ask of me? the things you've always done yourselves in spite of powers that be Americans, my Americans arise, awake, remember that they never gave you anything that they willfully surrendered Americans, my Americans never forget your past though the years may pass you by like sand in an hourglass Americans, my Americans I am just a dream that in your hearts and minds you do choose to believe Americans, my Americans arise, awake, remember! and Tomorrow we will forge a World of peace and splendor

He broadcasts a misprint offender. He is advised to question plutocracy. He is deformed at birth and then again later. He goes to war with a violin case as a a weapon. He grabs all the paintings off the wall at once. He is in an art museum. He is in a grassroots rebellion against the free market society. He is crashing a boat into the Pentagon. He is chewing on a metal bottle cap and his teeth are all breaking off. He is not allowed into the back seat of his own car. He is watching a play from very far. He yawns in a diner. He lies in his bed. Everyone overwhelms a giant. Everyone recovers the disappointing vehicle throughout the famine.

.. one small raft .. one raging river
Hope This parade is a charade jaded by pride as relief. It is temporary; transitory; the celebration of joy as a passion; not the recognition of respect as reward earned when learned; not the sustained refrain of prosperity for people. My life had been weakened by grief; my years made feeble by tears and sorrow. Strength had failed me because of affliction. My bones had felt brittle from age. I had been seen as a threat by my neighbors; a source of sadness for family and friends; an object to be reviled or pitied by enemies. People avoided me when they saw me in the street. I was deeply troubled by debt. My eye was consumed by tears and fears; my throat by dust and doubt. I put my trust in your purpose. Freedom is worth the risk. I would have been forgotten had I not presumed to speak of love. I would have been cast aside; Useless as a broken *** Those who live in the name of love are blessed. The wind blows. A lip quivers. Whispers weave around the cheers. Fear pushes for panic to oppose sedation for elation. Anxiety returns like a rip tide. Hope is imposed on desperation. Doubt hounds the imposition. Plutocracy is perusing the addition of homicide to war and genocide; to subtract from dissent. What's one more crime? they chime. Time is in our hands. Rescue the future from their plan; from those who seek to destroy opposition. Shine with warmth upon others. Let love be our salvation.

Upside Down
We have a platform called social, economic, and political relief But we must listen and move forward ourselves We've trusted those with no eyes to deviate paths for and from us So we stand holding the bag of promises we never made them keep I put you here, we put you here So yes you should respond to our critical demands Where are our policies as this ship slowly sinks We stare at the bags of promises you gave us Give them back! We built this But you want to tear it down because your ego has a mind of it's own And this "constitutional republic" represents its self as a "democracy" Yet clearly a "plutocracy" and "oligarchy" Remember people..... Stop letting promises that will never be sought get away Its complete disgrace in the face of those civilized enough to know its implications Lobby for and enforce justified statutes and laws by your own admission READ THIS NOW Do something or something could be done to you

**READ THIS NOW**
*silent eroticisms in the shadows of daffodils make our plea to the plutocracy that bleeds us salvation waits upon the station’s furthest platform for its train to depart a miserable situation to be left without compensation i have no doubt you are suffering dearly from everything that went down women are weaving bracelets talismans made from hair, nails and rope soap and sandalwood caress our souls in cleanliness we find solace as our weapons of separation disappear down drains of hope in retrograde venus renamed herself open are the skies open like the folds of skin between her eyes ulterior power sources song pirates sing of dawn's dying she holds the key to our suffering and turns the lock a little tighter every day but if we turn our attention inward she may open it for a moment and inside you will see your own reflection a jewel shining on the surface of emerald waters turquoise symmetry off the wings of a bird’s tail-feathers i swam for centuries and landed on your shoreline the missing continents revealed their bodies in splinters of humanity i perceive hope that springs eternal but its plunged back into the sea before it fully surfaces like old volcanoes our minds are volatile and only give forth new ideas occasionally*
