Mark Hughes Poet Free verse

Miscreant Leaders

Breaking ground, well trodden path,
boiling cauldron of troubles past.
Injecting theories, humanities veins,
cryptic messages to dispatch.
Puzzling pieces, testing fit,
exploit emotions, effects are best.
Impel the masses, blind ignorance,
dismiss dissenters from public view,
construct the stories, elected few.
Orchestrate, a mind control,
obedient throngs, the unstated goal.

Duke Beaufort February 7, 2024 at 9:06 AM Yes they are certainly not talking about the actual factors that address root causes of issues. That would be a difficult discussion for many to swallow. On some level, what we have is a reflection of the shallow capacity of minds numbed by a lack of reasoning capacity.
