Broken Record

the current malicious mouthpiece of the
world’s current policeman
stands behind her podium & insists to the
rest of us that 
“Russia & China will have to pay”
for the time that they have spent 
not going along with the empire &
their buds,
to overthrow yet another country
under the guise of “peacemaking”
so as to rebuild another grocery store
for corporate america to
suck all the resources out of
like a hungry vampire
laboring away on a teenage girl’s 
neck---
one watches her hand rise & cast
up & down
when she addresses the room full of
stuffy dignitaries,
who represent the powerful people in the
world, all whose interests have 
absolutely nothing to do with the 
“suffering people” of Syria,
but rather only hinge on what will come
next, 
because they all want to be on that first
flight into the reconstruction,
so as to turn it into another shopping mall
with business all developed by &
profiting those who succumbed to these
shallow threats spun out the mouth of
Sec. Clinton---
when the will of the world is set
by a government whose sole purpose is
to keep its own power in check,
transparently thwarting its might on all 
who show even the slightest glimpse of
disagreement 
with how it runs the show,
there will only be the direst 
consequences for the rest of us
when the big bully trips & falls---
why all the time is spent 
on manufacturing lies for the people
who sit opposite their television screen,
unable to get up & stop another invasion on
their own,
is beyond the mindset of most of us
who understand that the US will do what the
US wants, until everyone is so weak that they
need it to survive, 
they’re beat into submission by
military & diplomatic war, 
or they find themselves in bed with it,
sucking it off 
like a good little concubine.
