Identical Rhyme

"Identical Rhyme"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

In the country, hogs eat slop
In the city, women like to shop
And really, where do stereotypes stop

Where do the lie and the Truth clash
Why must only just a few control all the cash
And why do some inquiries have to appear crass

Is it all in a scheme
Magnified by the virtual stream
And why can't some things be as they seem

It could possibly be because of a hidden payer
Or maybe through some fantastic action of a player
And, for that, you must know that anything is possible through Prayer

That's the daily action that should never end
Because it allows God To Extend
And Enter The Spiritual Engine

Pumping His Way through that which we bleed
So He Can Hold us tighter than a baby's hair bead
And we will Ascend To A Heavenly Breed

Your poem begins questioning and ends with the answers. My poetry often ends teaching a meaningful lesson, as this one does, making us kindred spirits Eric. My choices this evening are to watch the long awaited "Mercy Street" a civil war drama, or read poetry, and poetry won out! I love this! #7
