Unbalanced Hypocrisy



Sell the kinetic death metal,
see the swivel profits 
zooming to the stratosphere
Bloody schoolyard body count
is the cost of doing armed ant-farm business
Collateral damage is the soulless audit estimation
Bottom feeders at the algae low end of the food chain,
eat shell casing scraps
tossed by an unbalanced, warfare Great White nation — 
Shark DNA with a ravenous capitalist avarice attitude,
saying: Keep silent minnow sheep,
don’t be fearful of the palpable lead ricochet sensation  
As the automatic spark-bark dog manufacturers
howl that the Second Amendment is your security salvation
They constantly belch 
that only the mentally ill 
unwisely use their adult toys to murder-kill
While they lobby their pet politicians
to bullet execute any national health care bill
Such a vomit reminder 
of regurgitated vile hypocrisy
We’re always told 
that only the mentally sick 
create the carnage from guns
As the death metal lap dog politicians
close more mental institutions
by not providing government funds
Unbalanced hypocrisy ...
lunatic leadership
of high place dark principalities
Green-covered gold lust of Roman greed proportion
guides their immoral decision-making
And the blood flowing in the Republic streets,
those Terminator weapons 
will pump-action human life keep taking

I believe that rule is out of date and it is abused by stupid people.. i think the NRA are the real terrorists in the USA, they have too much influence over Trump also.. People also saying if he was black or a muslim he would have been shot.. Hypocrisy is so ripe in the current govt..so sad.. your poem is excellent..

Another tragedy.. a very apt topic you chose for your poem Freddie. As you eloquently depicted, despite the continuing mindless violence, there is no action on gun control in our country. Sadly, there is none on the horizon.

Wow, a FAVE for sure. This one takes my breath away my man. It expresses very well where the true mental disturbance is.
