Strong Voices, Fixed Opinions.
"Bashing",
the political warfare,
of the uncommon man.
The rights of all those in power,
ungodly "saints"...
that walk on higher ground,
to prove they are better than the rest.
Alienated and disturbed...
by the fact,
we put them there,
on top of the world.
Famous for all the wrong things.
Not for saving people,
or heroic acts,
but for keeping the small,
ever smaller.
Eat your dogs,
and say little,
that is what is expected of you,
and you and you and you.
We are your betters,
and fretters best beware,
or we will quietly send you...
down the stair.
Some heads will role,
some broke the law,
more are far above it still.
While others, only tried to call out
the ragged edges for what they were...
or are... or will be.
Bad words they speak,
while we dine at the 5:00 o'clock hour.
Pressing their agenda,
into our faces,
until we can not eat...
anymore.
