The Stars are Staring Back at Us
Iran just launched 4 satellites
To add to Heaven's sparkling lights.
As we gaze into the stars,
That eternal blanket of lighted mystery,
Our spaceship Hope soars
into the blanket milky mist,
Fueled by our dreams
of a world united and free.
Until recently.
Now it sometimes feels
that those eternal lights above
have new cousins
thrust into their midst.
Spying eyes with evil intent.
Our hopeful heart now rent,
The stars are looking back
Registering our every move,
each character we write
from a cozy nook
to be stored and used,
if power feels a need,
to twist our cacophony of screed
to prove we're unpatriotic,
poetic crooks.
There is nowhere to run
or hide from fiction or
the most heinous fact.
Humanity is hell bent
to drop the curtain
on its own last act.
But the roaches will survive.
Security Shield
What kind of power
does a world leader wield,
when he can drop
a nuclear shield
on the borders
of a former foe?
How much further
can that world leader go?
The former foe
wants to know!
World Alert, Slavery Coming to You
You don't have to be that bright
to sense our dangerous plight.
No longer guaranteed divine rights,
we may soon have to rise and fight
to avoid joining the slaves dark night.
Flat world, indeed!
Enslaving all but a very few
is quickly coming into view.
So much for the higher goal
saving the world, and your soul.
All that has been tossed like a stone
into a bottomless red ink well
plunged by profit-monger drones,
The Army of Wall Street Hell.
So, how's your day?
Is your 401K alright?
Upper Ruling Class
Poverty will always abound
as long as there are found
the putrid scourge of those
hell bent to amass
fortunes so they can be
admired and become one of the
Upper Ruling Class.
They are so sickenly depraved!
Even children they heartlessly enslave.
America, the home of the brave.
School Lies
It is as plain as the moon in the sky.
Our tax-gorging government lies.
Like all the rest of the privitizing scams
Our schools will be ruined soon.
If students were money
much more would be done
to invest in their success.
In the mean time,
students will be used
as a money-making ruse.
