Notes About The Poem

   

Janus Face

Janus Face

Chaotic dialect set-off back-and-forth
Two contrasting characteristics 
One is proven to be duplicitous
Political backing of the other party
Now denies it
A refusal that of a true statement
Two-headed bull, speaks gibberish
But the bull is goaded,
wounded, half-crazed
If the bull could reason, 
it would understand
After the matador shows off 
assessing the bull
The matador unfurls a red cape
Makes me sigh
Men, and women who stand by the bull
Who want to take away freedom 
A kind of deception in which you 
intentionally hide your true feelings 
Intentions behind false words or
Freedom’s away from women's choices 
Of their own bodies! 

Immigrants’ work grants and
reforms dissolving 
They define our American character 
and shared history
They are not a problem we need solving
Doctors arrested for saving mothers' 
LGBT rights gone
It’s wrong according to the Good Book 
A*** or oral copulation “bad acts” 
aren’t limited to homophobes
Hear, hear,
Listen to you!
Invisible self
I’m just a regular guy trying to help you – 
but if you go back to your old world, beware, 
because there are some tricky guys out there
No freedom for those people
Students’ books banned, 
Bullying left-facing taken into their own hands

Shine a spotlight on the humanity of immigrants, 
and the underlying theme is compassion
Chaotic dialect back-and-forth
Left-facing a Warrior for the people
Our beautiful United States will not be free at all
If together we don’t stand,
So, divided we will fall

On day 1, I promise to take all social experimentation (affordable housing), woke agenda (ban books), side issues (woke ideology) and throw them in the trash—Ron DeSantis

There's one thing that we have in common— Neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024—Gavin Newsom

Speaks Volumes December 5, 2023 at 10:33 PM So many issues Anaya. I guess some Americans would never stand for it, (against their civil rights etc.) But it works here in Australia. Oh don't get me wrong, we still vote in some dills and some crooks, But every Aussie citizen over 18 gets their say. Not on a Tuesday when people are supposed to be working, But on a Saturday with the option of Pre pole voting - absentee voting - postal vote. EVERY AUSSIE GETS A SAY. That's what democracy is. Instead of begging people to vote, lobby politicians to introduce compulsory voting. Sorry just a thought. You are the feistiest lady on Soup. I admire you immensely and your poem spoke volumes. Speaks Volumes December 6, 2023 at 10:27 PM I always think of you as Feisty. To me it means a person with courage to be outspoken and speak their mind. Some one not afraid to stand up for what they believe and be a voice for the underdog. You dear Anaya have proven to me you have all those amazing traits. Yes Australia has Compulsory Voting. No religious exceptions to my knowledge. Fines without a good excuse. The answer my dear is blowin in the wind. Cheers Wen I Am Anaya December 6, 2023 at 9:22 AM Man is by nature a political animal—Socrates I Am Anaya December 6, 2023 at 9:15 AM It seems to me we can learn a lot from Australian code of conduct. Here there is no code of conduct for lobbying, it's like the Wild West. Gerrymandering is a method by which biased districting assures that certain minorities will have little or NO chance of getting their candidate elected. Lobbying here would mean going to Sacramento, spend $ to influence politicians to do my bidding. I read that lobbying activities in Australia are administered and “regulated” by the Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet through the Lobbying Code of Conduct, question; Is voting mandatory in Australia? If so, are there any religious deferments? Here we request that people vote as their civic duty. You're right, we shouldn’t have to beg. Thank you, SV. Noone’s ever called me feisty ‘bfore. Fun Fact: The term lobbyist comes from; When politicians take a break from the office, walk to the lobby and be accosted by influencers trying to buy their vote.

Silent One December 2, 2023 at 7:49 AM powerful poem Anaya and you have done it in such a wonderful poetic way... sadly politicians hardly ever deliver their promises.. I Am Anaya December 2, 2023 at 8:51 AM Thank you. It is sad. In The USA, the red party are in control of congress which means; even though our Democrat (blue) President promised to help people with such programs as work grants for immigrants who WANT to work, the red has the power to obstruct legislation, because that's what America voted for. They call themselves Christians! I love politics. Like the football fans love their games. ;D
