Oscars Ii

Boycott or else
What if like our President
someone's trying to split the race?
How did they make their millions
did they sue to make a case? 

Of all the movies that they made
are they saying that it means
That they alone and no one else
did dominate the scenes?

Now we're going to have to choose
which Actors we go see
Will we be going to see the best?
or politically corrected "me"

Can't draw winners from a "hat"
they'll find another way
It's not about the talent now
it's who has the most "sway"

A shame it has to be this way
now there will always be a doubt
As to (was that Oscar really earned?)
or because of someones clout

I could truly vote both sides
no need to threaten me
For the mirror I look in each day
is looking back at me.....

Enjoyed your poem and what you said about it. I think, like most media crapolla, they push these things on the public to try to divide us...that is their strength(the monied/power elites). Our strength is discussing their powerlessness over our thoughts(though it doesn't make interesting conversation)
