Poetry

From cradle to grave
Who wishes to merely slave?
I would for progeny
Or even for extended family
Aren't we all brothers and sisters
Stretching back millennia, consider
Or do the differences hold one back
Stop one from cutting another slack
There are indeed mortal sins
Those weigh upon individuals we toss in the bin.


The weapons must be run
Indeed if the war is to be won
Maybe they just want it prolonged
Begging a penny for profit
Even south of our own border
Rebels are our friends at the start
Saving men and purchasing hearts
You know who the baddies are
Captive servants in a forever war
America the beautiful
Maybe soon will be free
Over golden planes and rainbow bombs
Ringing freedom from sea to shining sea
Ever wonder if GDP was held too high?


Around me I hear a cough
Yet I stroll twenty times untouched
Fear in the eyes, and my mind stays in place
I studied the way to remove the blinds
A heart of a horse and lungs free of stress
My pressure threatens no ones breast
Instead if one builds a weak fence
That which is penned out will break in a sense
Keep them coming, dollar signs gleam
Staying reliant on hiding their crimes


Trust me, I'm just like you
Understand I know what you need
Shots are best for us all
Killing one-twenty-eight at least
Even the children faced some harm
Granted it was studied to learn
Ever wonder if they can dodge informed consent?
Every wonder when a mistake excuses content?


I'm just a nibbling, a morsel to eat
I have a home where I can hide, it's quite neat.
Crawl on my hands and knees
Just to vanish under a blanket
My grandmother cries "Where is my love, my jewel?"
But I'm right under her thigh, silly goose
Oh what fun, oh joy indeed
A small prank and I'm quite pleased
I may leave for a day or two
But I'll be back, this I promise you


Mockingbird sing sweetly to sleep
Open eyes threaten those who speak
Close your ears to all but my song
Kingdom come, thy kingdom's done
If you only knew what was true
Night would bring tears upon you
Gibbering grey gashes and forked tongues
Bide their time, after all haven't they won?
Inside your mind only their voices call
Recognize that any song but mine is not allowed
Dedicate your heart and soul to my cage


A proxy revolution bore some fruit
Liberty for some, paid for in blood by many
The trees were watered, and grew anew
After cutting a branch of two
Better than letting them rot
Decompose, gassing the world a lot
Instead more diverse species can thrive
Communities know best how to make their land jive
It is a small partnership indeed
Economy working best to support our trees
Better than than an inferno
As is likely when the dead lay still


Persevere in the face of evil
Americans mixed with the devil
Prescott came from perfect blood
Even hicks know when to bow their hood
Race to space and dominate the stars
Clear out the earth, there are too many cars
Liars who build up efficiently
In time will rule implicitly
Presidents respect precedent and providence


Love one another, that's my sole prayer
Hold those close whom you dare to care
Data refutes the lies we are told
But what does that imply, if I am bold
We always had the cure
But it wasn't in patent
So out comes the line with quite a lure
Forcing some into a tent
May they know the spirit
The world in my heart and yours content


Are you awake my friend
Return to the task at hand
Time for another shot
I want to see when your heart stops
Cling to life a little longer
Hypnotizing our fevered slaughter
Objectively a delay is a weapon too
Killing loses a cash cow from their human zoo
Eagle eyes see the truth, and claws wrench the confused


Themistokles the Great
Had more votes than voters
Trust me, I'll record your voice
Accurately to what is the buyers choice
Just drop it in the urn there
We'll get the proper strategies heir
Justice is in the eye of the beholder
After all, everything is subjective
It's not that I'm a controller
Aristides would just drain us as a sieve


Mind control is a myth, don't you know
Kitten, just take a tablet to free the mind
Understand if the government does it, it cannot be wrong
Litany of fireworks in the brain outshine the sky
Trigger pulled from behind a knoll
Revolution industrial took quite a toll
Are you sure you dare awake?


A child is not a carbon copy
If I can only make one plee
And yet as they grow older
One cannot help but spy a mirror
Be kind, don't instill hate
The world has enough and won't be late
Let one grow into a sinner or saint
Just guide toward light, date by date
Our mistakes are our own
Everyone will fall from home
Love is learning when to hold close
Love is learning when to let go
Drip by drip they grow by dose
Telling is not enough, you must show
