[hometext] => This was written a few months back. It was brought on by the apathy of the average American and by the further manipulation of our world by the powers in control.
[bodytext] => We say we’re sorry,
but we don't act like we mean it. We chastise others for actions we still deny: we were built by lies. We take what is felt rightfully ours, depose those who oppose our views, and then claim to be purveyors of Freedom and Liberty. We have an open market, so it’s said; but not an open mind, though we state. We reach out with open arms, a paradox in action and policy. Our weak hand offers ideas, support, supplies to aid, to better: advancing others. While, our strong hand steals from peasants, depletes near everyone’s share of resources, noxiously transplants our culture: destroying diversity en masse. We, if ever it was, is no longer representative of a collective of persons, a union of actual entities. No. Now, we is simply a proxy of money, greed, self-interest. A Babylon system annexing souls chosen to lead, controlling those entrusted with technological advance, forcing afoot consumerism’s toxic reliance. Purely an order to grow rich richer. and poor poorer. We the People are the true voice: We the People are supposed to rule. Yet, We the People don’t, seems We the People won’t, by happenstance, provision, or choice.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
