Poverty In Democracy
We've learned to share nothing, but the shining sun and moon,
beans, bullets, band-aids, hand grenades, and platoons.
Walking under this blue dome, all alone, far from home,
In a country founded by Indians, we now call our own.
Following laws enforced by the corrupted police
where we imprison in the name of freedom; kill in the name of peace.
Walking by children with no shoes, no socks on their feet
past the veterans sifting trash for something to eat.
I walked up the steps and knelt at Lincoln's feet
and wept in vein while he remained in his seat.
I looked to the Capital, such a symbol of wealth,
neglecting our elderly with diminishing health.
politics, red tape, and government bureaucracy
Home sweet Home our democracy of hypocrisy.
Democracy, distributive traditionally nailed to the cross,
The economic military, the surreptitious stiffling boss
No public employment just deployment, the cost,
Human-Life, the untold reasons, an unforgivable loss
New-Age feudalism fosters economic deprivation, its trash,
the Contemporary peasant, the pheasant under glass
Poverty, economical and societal sabotage
Of genocide’s judiciary-legislative-executive entourage
Maintained by the struggle for world-power, the facade smashed,
looters ransack residents, and snatch the pride and cash
Poverty, the parochial purveyor of democracy,
The... unilateral collateral for the aristocracy
The... Holy Political Empire, the squire and page,
Remnant from the patriotic, now begins the Dark Age
The poverty-police practitioners petitioning pander,
People are prisoners to propagandizing foreign slander
Riots, explosions, terrorist attacks and broken fenders,
Starved into surrenderity, all for the legal-tender!
People, the glorious labor-force for globalization,
The justification for human immolation, the auspices of world-domination
Intellectual enterprise is merchandise in disguise as a profanity,
Global, culture-vulture, feasting on underdeveloped humanity.
