Sad

Sad, the poor excuses we have for 
leadership in our great nation. Sad, 
the dissipation, corruption, occupation 
by self-serving,  soulless, power-hungry 
madmen and woman, who have sold their 
minds and hearts to the Spirit of Evil – 
all for fame and fortune; regardless of
human cost – 

Those voices behind the Puppet-throne...
faceless culprits, safe and secure in their
fortresses, with high walls, and armed
guards; sipping the best wine while watching
from elite towers – 
         Cowards the gang of them! 
Murdering innocence at will. They perish 
to reach our border – and those that do, believing
false promises never meant to be kept: Like cattle
shipped to become cheap, abused labor, once
their votes have been counted. Struggling 
countries around the world, sold US propaganda, that
of freedom and equality for all – only to be abandoned, left for
slaughter, to keep railed the Money-train of 
endless wars.  
        In the upcoming years, when God sees fit,
as do us all, these savages will leave the earth -- their
journeys having left our world with pain and suffering
far outweighing any possible good accidentally accomplished.  
The Devil will need vastly more real-estate, with a huge 
supply of coal for the added furnaces, if to properly 
accommodate so large and extremely putrid a falling – 
Oh to have that contract! The fools cry, they jockey yet 
for controlling positions, still not comprehending the vent-less
surface of their smothering new reality -- the C's the P's the O's
the B's the S's the A's, the entire sick, wretched, spineless,
heartless pack of them.

Hi Andrea; thank you for commenting. I have no doubt where these spiritually sick individuals will end up...It's just heart-wrenching seeing the innocent suffering.

Thank you, Jennifer; that's why I wrote this -- to provoke serious thought...though I guess you are already of similar sentiment and feelings such as mine. Blessings my friend!
