Poem
You fear knowledge, run from it as you would a gathering storm, to hide in the dark forest of your life's ordeal. Seeking nothing, but self-satisfaction, blaming others for your lot in life. Hiding from the responsibility of your own actions. To need someone to appear seeking power, a power you give easily, without reason. Promises made so you feel secure, from the fears of your own design. A puppet to a master of anger gives comfort. Exposed lies mean nothing, hating truth covers the guilt within, while you hear a world that gives reason, for your hatred. This self-loathing in your soul, is a sickness that lays at the very foundation, of your heart, allowing hypocrisy to be your arguments, as to why you follow this chosen leader. You'll condemn a President who talks to enemies, yet praise a God who washes the feet of a prostitute. Two things apart, yet tied together, by the rope of truth that gives service to others. Raise your banner high, it waves in the strong winds of history's hate. Already past, now rising again, from the same fields of ignorance, the loathing of intellectual truth, that all men are created equal, unless, they don't wear what you wear, hear what you hear, pray like you pray, hate like you hate. This is the world you bring to the rest of us? Because you're afraid, because you hate, because your skin reflects the light, because you're weak, and need a leader whose a mirror image, of you're insecurities, to tell you what's right, what's wrong. Because all your troubles come from " Those People " " The Others ", Its their fault you have failed. This power you give this leader, because he pointed out "Those People " It's easier to agree than to challenge his words. Life would be so much easier, if we would just get rid of " Those People " What ever happened to, of the people, by the people, for the people? It was sold to a crazy leader for 30 pieces of fear. contest Political Ordeal 3/12/16
