For Edward Ibeh's 'Pick-A-Title, Vol 49' contest Date written 2/23/25
Implosion of democracy Explosion by hypocrisy Not what God meant to be Twisted by man’s hands of deceit Whitewashing history Distorting views Blatant blasphemy Stringing together fools Ignoring facts With liquid laughs Dismissing science Utterly madd Doing favors For the rich While poor laborers Get short stick Dozen eggs Expensive to get Daily bread Tainted chicken and fish Can’t feed the poor In USA Sending it abroad More than what stays Not that we can’t Be a good neighbor But home first man Kids deserve our favor Burning wick of politics Dividing inciting Not uniting with Guns flood streets As felons hit bricks Made guilty free Despite January 6 I’m no God I know sin too I just watch For Him to move No nation divided Can stand tall Is it decided Will it fall
