Caught between a glamorized past and an imploding present,
Future's hope hangs upon the scales of a timid fate.
A country splintering,
A modern-day civil war where words fly by like bullets.
Family and friends become nothing but mere collateral,
To radicalised ideals and misplaced allegiances.
While the rest of the world unites,
Watching as the sparks of hate ignite.
As flames of blind loyalty sweep through cities.
Idiocracy now rules the ashes,
The clock is ticking down.
Will you cower in the shadows,
Waiting for the winds of change to blow over,
Or will you fight, come hell or high water?

Life’s Repetition of rinse and repeat:
Saga, the odyssey
lies
And deceit.
Juliet’s drowning upon daggers blade in
Response to a Romeo’s lethal swallow.
The need be not the chasing down of serpentine sleuthing out the whys they bit you..
But the how so to heal oneself from poisons onset.
Cause the effect.
Effect the cause.
Alterations of souls allegiances.
Whom wages the war upon one’s self
Loses all in either outcome.
Close the gate,
Button down the hatches
Night draws near.
Light the lamps for shadows creep.
Let illumination run deep..
Burn out yesterday’s fabled ways.
Upon pages of white begin anew.
“Lord what fools these mortals be”
This said by Shakespeare and not by me.
Instead mirror thought of phrase as “idiocracy pains the existence of man”.
Overcome..undone
Underwhelmed..overburdened.
Buried in minds sea
Drowning in muddy thoughts.

A shouting senile old fool tanking in the polls trying to save his a-rse.
It would take someone a helluva lot smarter than Joe to gaslight me.
~~~
The State of the Union - a fact checker’s wet dream!
*Joe says America is better off now than it was three years ago. That’s not the dementia speaking, that’s his contempt for America speaking. The only people better off in the last three years are illegal aliens.
*Joe says Trump is a threat to democracy. Funny, I don’t remember democracy being under siege under Trump’s presidency. But I do remember Trump being under siege by the media because their girl, Hillary, lost.
*No Joe, weaponising the justice system to attack your political opponents is a threat to democracy. Duh! Selling out America to enrich you and your family and steal classified documents to give to a ghost writer to write a book for an $8 million advance and keep them in your garage is a threat to democracy.
The only thing Donald J Trump is a threat to is their idiocracy!
Either vote this corrupt lying arrogant addled old fool out or impeach!

Made In America
Is a fable
By foreign companies
For
Gullible patrons
Who love
To call themselves
Patriots
Today a key
To unlock the apartment
Tomorrow
It will be
Your debit card
And
A credit score
Will float over your head
Kids go to school
Not in the latest fashion
Nor
Do they wear uniforms
No
School kids
Today they wear
Bullet-proof vests
No healthcare for all
But war!
War for all ages!
Step up!
One and all!
Except for the rich!
Only the poor
Get to die!
On television
That's not a NASCAR race!
It's congress
But look
Look at their sponsors
Big pharma!
And oil companies!
Writing your laws!
Dystopia dysphoria
It never
Seemed real
Until
We made it real!
And Idiocracy
is a documentary
Of America's downfall!

Coming
from the
catastrophic chaos
As cacophonous clowns
cling to lies
& wallow in conspiracy theories
Going
through the
growing gloam
As deluded deniers
deny reality
& revel in ancient myths
Burrowing
below the
benighted behemoths
As the light of reason dims
& the world is devoured
by supernatural darkness
Flying
above the
fiendish fables
As we endure in an idiocracy
& evade the alternate realities
of mendacious psychopaths

prophetic

It is ALLright, my brother
Clip on those wings
Your conflict is of
the greatest tragedy
I can feel your rage,
frustration of the hustle
Take on those wings
Ascend to the skies
Envision the dream
Our new Black Paradise
You are not your struggle
Go on, grow this hustle!
Breathe, climb higher!
Believe, glide through the fire
Channel the voice that roars within
Pummel the void that snares the weak
Clip on those wings and set to the skies
Seek out salvation, Black Paradise
Let off the channels of idiocracy
Hold onto hope as you set your sails
Look to the glory,
Glare beyond the skies
See the grand meaning, Black Paradise
It was more than a word
More vivid than a dream
A nation united, unified by peace
The dream of perfection,
The hope of freedom.
Still it evades us, Black Paradise
In the land of my Fathers
Lay the seeds of the earth
And with the sweat of our mothers
They suckled the plains
So grow forward my brothers
Set to the skies
Glide through the fire,
Black Paradise

Stop Mocking Me
Smile sin of me
Oh my mockery
Sentence I can't read
Life's hypocrisy
Living just to bleed
American Democracy
Dying just for me

I am the master
of planting time bombs in minds
so please, be kind, rewind
to uncover the disaster
the one plastered
across the face of every rabbi, sheik, marabout and pastor
who's teachings form vines
that when intertwined,
become the only limiting factors
i need not remind that signs
we see , daily are only coming faster
exige
its tragic, you see
this "idiocracy"
politics overseas
meaningless intervening's
but please.
open your eyes
open your minds
listen
and truly perceive what your minds have been missing.

We moved inexorably
towards idiocracy
we slipped without grip
towards dependency
We prayed filled with nothing
but false ecstasy
we crept towards our death
instinctively
We lived as slaves
fully and intentionally
We are Pompeii, Herculaneum
the ones who filled
the stadium
Called for pitiless blood
to warmly run
worshiped bearded men
and starry sun
causation, ruination
living and dead

Perfection
Too Thin, too Fat
Too Tall, too Short
Too White, too Black
Too Rich, too Poor
STOP!
Always labels of perfection,
from a vain and ignorant nation.
Not only the halls of our schools,
but also in our homes are the fools.
With images from our media
The celebrity obsession and Hysteria;
Our moms and dads are joining in.
From our families to our friends.
All in the effort of perfection
young lives are from existence ejected.
Trying to obtain the impossible;
When are we going to become audible.
I am here with you and feel the pain.
Parents riding you because you are not the same.
You can't make friends unless you conform
to what society says is the perfect form.
You are Perfect, You are Beautiful.
You are loved, you are graceful.
You are you, you are nothing less.
You are strong, you are blessed.
Stop!
Don't conform to the idiocracy.
We'll create our own society,
free of judgment, with loving affection.
For only in unity and love is Perfection.

I smile at the idiocracy
of the notion that you believe
you are all knowing
A fountain of wisdom from
which all of us illiterate
followers must drink from
I pity you because you will never know
how smart you could have been
if wisdom had been allowed to grace
your presence
You hate me
because I refuse to live in your fool’s paradise
But
This is fine with me
My wisdom began when I realized
that you are the father of truths
that only suit your wellbeing.
