High Powered Fences

High Powered Fences, 
Beyond Your Vote

Armchair Politian's sitting beside Ceasar(a), 
believing or at least making believe...
that they are for the people, 
and not against. 
"They" have been there too long.
Rot is strong, coming from the corpses. 

They point thin-sharp fingers,
and makeup rules, 
using the tools, of the trade. 
Lies like snakes, 
that live on both land and water, 
in every form of underling,
pressed into service...
for the queen, of nothing. 

Lowlife voters pleading for honesty, 
from dark web media that has sold out. 
The land-turtles living in office, 
fighting over the scraps of the victory garden, 
a warning of war already in the distance. 
Like bugs eating their own fallen, 
while striving to start a new colony, 
they chant over the electric lines...
martyr-ism. 
Of a hero, no, of a monster. 
How is lifting evil up okay?
If not backed by the lies of a religion, 
as dark as those that hide their face, 
like cowards do, 
and bow. 

You have read it at the end of every book. 
It is the same sunrise and sunset. 
It is just another day, 
no matter what the media say. 

They scream and yell and cry, 
like Hinny Penny and the Sky. 
The facts quit... not quite the case. 
The prayers of a country, 
saints gathered knowing all are coming. 
Standing up for the weak, 
taking back and remembering. 
Waking up the old to dance again...
on the government franchise, 
we should own from the illegal gotten gain, 
the children of the political elite, 
and supreme,  cheerleaders of the third world. 

The larks in the media,
busy telling us...
all they want us to know. 
The reality is "they" do their best business, 
lying to us all. 
There will be an accounting. 
There will be, a fall.
The time is coming. 
That is the call.

Well, the media's a clown show, and all the Democrats too. And your poem's spot on, but I'm (finally!) worried--- I'd sure rather see Colin Powell or Nikki Haley in the White House right now than the fellow we've got. Just praying he can keep his wits about him midst the swirling media-induced storm. Hopefully he still views war as a last resort. It's hell, in case he's forgotten. Of course, God is really running the show, but we have to do our part down here! Thanks, Ann ~ Old War Horse

Very powerful and emotional write, Ann. There has to be some reason and loyalty to the people not to greed. Hugs Eve
