Gilded Cages

locked by tyranny
mocked by the masses
little children
little Jews
silver teeth
take away their shoes
the statue you see
is fake
Trumpets hide not
the fading of liberty


The kindest of souls
is ok
shout


above the showers



Berlin 1934, USA 2018



Note:
Where a society travels, is where a society may end up.

If only people thought this first, and then ideologies second. Hugs!

The world is very slowly going wrong, taking what should be our priorities with it. Strong write, Arthur. Regards, Viv

Hello Art, Excellent Work!! You hit the mark with this one. 1933 saw the seizure of power by Herr Hitler with things moving into full swing by 1934 and beyond. And so, the historical record and antecedents are certainly there. Fast forward to the current penchant for "illiberal democracy" among certain countries in Europe and seeking its insidious affect on American democracy, of all things, then people better take notice. See my recent poem: "The Little Children are Crying." Best Wishes, Gary

I can't argue your well constructed point, Arthur.. but there should be four Presidents on the right and a different girl, who actually was a victim on the left, facts matter. I'm working on a similar poem now where I break up with a girl who doesn't get it or doesn't want to!

Facts do matter which is why there is only one man in the photo, the criminal. I dont write off the cuff, I actually research, and fact check. Facts matters is a statement should be sent to Trump. cheers
