Jay Del Fierro Poet Free verse

Carpetbaggin' Robberbaron's....

They've made their move on
...the last frontier,
too finally drill in the upper tier
put in place is a pawn to cast
endear the voters quick and fast...

Those carpetbaggin' robberbarons,
landgrabbin' venture darin'
big profits they'll be sharin'
nothing else matters to them uncarin'....

One step away from the presidency
if so happens unfortunately,
are we really ready for this relief
our possible future executive chief...

Carpetbaggin' robberbarons
special interest corporate blarin'
northern alaska they'll be tearin'
....the last frontier...

it was due to happen sometime.....

Mohammad Yamin August 31, 2008 at 4:59 PM Jay, this is a very truthful and bold poem. You have shown the ugly face of barons -greed is their hallmark - deceit is their action -grabbing is their faith. Very impressive write. Your poem is a strong breeze which has blown the veil of these operators. What else can you do as a poet! You can't change the high and mighty. -Mohammad

Lucinda Bulger August 31, 2008 at 9:03 AM well, I think that the average person is unaware of how much of greed and money from the big boys affects our earth and the our enviroment, not to mention the thirst to savagely taint the saved beauties. One thing to ponder, you would think that they would turn to space huh? there is so much garbage floating around up there that they don't bother to bring back and dispose of, not only alaska but much beyond what we can imagine!
