Politicians

Seems no matter where I go I hear the winds of revolution blow stirring the souls that don’t understand these whispers start from the mind of a man Who seeks for himself his own private gain Though he won’t sacrifice one moment of pain Asking instead that others be giving Providing the life HE dreams of living “Donate your money so I won’t be poor forfeit your life so I’ll enjoy mine more” “Go and die that I might cry Over your casket as if I cared But to tell the truth doesn’t matter to me Left or right Which side I hold I’ll gladly trade your life for gold” Through the manipulation of others they take their pride Changing history in the hope they hide The sins they’ve committed and the way they’ve lied They’re all the same doesn’t matter the side They love it most to feed off your fears same old story for thousands of years They don’t care about you not for one single minute Your cash and themselves are the reason they’re in it 8/18/2021

Hey, Buddy! Mr. Rose, it was great chatting with you this morning. Way to go here, Darrell; I couldn't have said it any better. Here is what sold me: "The sins they’ve committed, and the way they’ve lied; They’re all the same doesn’t matter the side." It speaks volumes here alone, excellent penning, Darrell. Glad you're back on your bike again, too! Well, it was great hearing from you, pal, and take care. Best of Hope & Wishes, William PS; It's Poetry! It's a Fav of mine now, sir.
