Thread: Now and the Future

Woe unto us we have been baracked
as ship taking water and economy cracked
soup kitchen and unemployment line
as families Salvation Army dine

He follow Lord Bush in wracking constitution
adding to abomination his own contribution
as missiles now fly over more sovereign country
we wallow on, bear witness to effrontery

Oh yes, our beloved African Prince
as he sells us his wares, and Constitution mince
there is nothing to say that would then convince
those that are cheering, we can only wince

The heedless momentum of this shivering cart
that once had a soul, and strong beating heart
If in this man you would put all your trust
to where shall we go when he our country bust?

The power that cheers besotted dead leaders
truly the chattel of bereft bottom feeders
onward to the world of rationing hope
useless eaters, and pharmacological dope

Yes, it will be like Huxley, a brave new world
paved over the dreams, the complaints far away hurled
into the goodnight of a totalitarian maw
You heard it here first, it is what I saw.

Bravo! You should publish this everywhere!

...to put it anywhere, glenn hoefer for any credit, that is who I am, a naturalized American named glenn.

For God as my witness, so help me I swore
to fix the rent in her fabric and do that restore
I cannot go down to inglorious mess
I just couldn't face myself, I confess

what we do now will forever resound
we shall never be sold by pork, or by pound
and if in these words strength you have found
they come from a source, fills me, not around

we all come to term and the measure of that
is not of just things, material sat
the end it does come and that it be, bad
that there are evils worse, is something true, sad

nothing to do but prepare well for inevitable
but in the worse evil, place your fight in all capital
to lose the ground upon which nation stand
Constitution defend, the mark of our brand

Welcome, naturalglenn!
We need a lot more poetic outrage, rather than just prose.

and again...have to promote the arts right?

Good to hear from you again, NaturalGlenn. BRAVO!!

posterity..
