Anchors of Sin

(This is all just my opinion,
what I glean from the internet,
Mainstream News, and my imagination – 
do your own research.  If there is any
truth in my observations, this write will
definitely not make me a star in LOW
PLACES, who are in power – in my speculative
opinion)

Anchors of Sin

No system of governance
is perfect; but what we had in
the USA served this nation
well for centuries, was also
a shinning example of hope and prosperity
for the rest of the world to try and emulate-----then
came Obama

crime is now surging

human feces the 
predominant scent
of many neglected,
declining 
Democrat 
run cities;

a million fentanyl overdoses
ignored – sacrificial lambs

on the Altars of 
Marxist Deceit

body-bags, a street-gang’s
initiation currency

discarded body-parts
the morning lilies of 
alley dumpsters

severed hands found on city streets
where once we walked casually

now must run

the gauntlet of parks

where children
no-longer can play
heedless of man-made 
horrors

where hungry wild dogs 
have an occasional feast
on the discarded remains 
of lowlife turf wars

two legged carnivores

The State
adopted from China
our new one
party religion

mutilated corpses found
all along the Southern border

illegal human trafficking
in a stretch without law
and order

Mayorkas’ double-speak
explanations, totally dishonest
talks!           Lies! With devilish
ties -- 

such lies filled Joe’s family
coffers,

more found in his vet,
where classified government
papers illegally kept

lies spoken wherever
the drug cartels and
other street-savages
spew them, 

gang members
the new local police

into the arteries of cities
foreign military our own
government has flown -- 
who knows who these
people are, where they
come from, quickly, quietly
undercover of night, hidden 
by darkness?

more liars in hospitals
making lucrative profits
slicing innocence from 
rejecting wombs

mutilating children

switching genitals,

like Josef Mengele
making caviar of 
human eggs

daily terrorist attacks
under reported,
not a Christian Church
nor Jewish temple 
safe

media silence
bought and paid
with bloody 
Judas-coins

purchased, soulless voices
self-serving demons

willing mouth-pieces
for Satan-like politicians
spewing their hateful
manipulations helping 
evil take out God’s
ever-faithful

while the pope gives audience to such 
fiendish perpetrators, kowtowing
to their shadowy forces

though universities give them
honors to hang on their filth
walls – God’s children may fall

but they will never stay down

not subjects of The Anchors of Sin

Wow! Joe, you have accurately described the failures of our country! Sadly, we are heading in a downward spiral. God help us! Your poem is brutally stark yet accurate! Well said. Blessings, Kim M

Thank you, Lisa; apparently what I am saying rings true to some degree in places outside the USA. I needed to hear that. We need to share our opinions in this respect. For our ability to freely communicate, without dire consequences, may be limited in the near future. Blessings Sunshine!
