Racked w/a
foaming-at-the-mouth
bitter taint of
political phlegm
and 2nd hand
racial unrest,
I’m rendered
mentally impotent,
socially stymied
to score
w/Mistress Peace-and-Prosper.
Hence my irritation
and frustration
at a government
too involved in games
to see the strife
and starvation
for the greenbacks.
So, the line forms
here for anyone
ready to stand against
those congressional cronies
who’ve failed
we, the people.
We, the disillusioned
nation of fiscal sense
require,
expect,
demand an end to
the duality
and paranoia
inflicted
and dumped on
we, the human race.
I'm certainly not all in to politics... I think for the most part they are liars.
I like this poem. You are speaking out and I respect that. I like the 'look' of the poem and the flow. ~Melissa

Wow! Maybe you should consider running for Congress; we need someone who has our best interests at heart! You just aren't afraid to take on any topic are you!!!??? Excellent write; moving; powerful; and true!
Blessings, Betsy :)
You have a clear hard-hitting style that keeps context and delivers a message. Descisive work.
