An ode to the people
This bitter world
Full of insanity
Things never foreseen
Have become a reality
Sticks and stones
Broken homes
Lakes poisoned by oil rigs
Yet the only words
Our leader manages to utter
happen to be “It was rigged”
Unimaginable atrocities
Governmental monstrosity
Beyond imagination
Broken shambles of our nation
where is the retaliation?
could it be reality
or a terrible illusion
materialized from a cloud of confusion
are trump supporters not yet disillusioned?
What does it matter
believe it or not
We must try to come to grips
Soaring among the birds
There might as well be Flying pigs
-----
With Election crowds
Instead of wildfires and droughts
Being the center of our attention
Convinced of enormous herds
Yet I’ve yet to hear the orange man mention in words
The obstacles we have yet to meet
Living in a world where violence trumps peace
and nukes are triggered by 140 character tweets
The only crowds I see
Are crowds of mindless sheep
Who flock to their almighty rancher
beckoned with fruitless promises
Hanging on to his every word
Enforcing hateful prejudices
Have we become desensitized ?
Or do we no longer care
For the lives that we live
And the lives that have yet to be lived
Something must change.
