Corruption Pie

slow down and listen, unparalled discontent, silenced by voices broadcasting lies to keep the narrow class that rules in place, amused by us fools who rush every day to own our piece of corruption pie, and laugh with those we know tell lies

I couldn't agree with you more, thanks for sharing such a revealing piece. James! This poem reminds me of my own poems. The corrupted pie is of course of the corrupted minds that produced it! It is very difficult to be in the world, and stay clear of it's corruption! Thanks for this write, and also your comments on my stuff. Love too, to you,jm

Jim, Corruption pie- is it inescapable? Honesty, like forgiveness starts one Truth at a time. Watching TV on a regular basis can keep one/everyone/someone/anyone distracted from the beauty around that we can enjoy in the world.... not of the world. Doesn't most individual good out weigh those nagging evils? Thinking about politics and playing the game takes away a lot of good thinking hours. But that's life, I guess. Love, Dane

Ain't it the truth?? If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em, though we know that's the wrong way to go. A splendid piece Jim! Best wishes, Keith
