We vote for our lives,
not for fictional speeches...
of "democracy"...!
Tanka
Our democracy,
Bought by the highest bidder,
Is an empty word
We do not need elected crooks
We need a new Mandela
Unelected billionaire,
Puppeteering the POTUS...
Money-stringing corruption:
A democratic country,
Lunching its democracy:-
A plastic card melts inside a plastic bin
honoring the architecture of our structure
the gold leaf house we must build, democracy.
The Necessity of Jesus’ Death
He has to die,
To keep the government together, or we will sigh.
I will cry,
Democracy will bye.
Democracy is so democratic,
it allows enemies to speak ill of it,
even wanting to destroy it.
Democracy operates on the principle
That all power comes from people
Church power comes from Father Christ
Church has hierarchical structure
Generations of waiting
needing and wanting a vote
Dictator ousted; long
long polling queues, many thousands
wait nine hours, it matters not.
Electoral College is proof
Many have grown long in the tooth.
Some votes do not count.
Hurt feelings soon mount.
Democracy is our big spoof.
Rise up and ignite the freedom fire
Save Democracy before it's gone
Republic about to be Empire
Orange Julius crossing Rubicon
POLITICAL NEPHROLOGY
Today’s politics,
In need of dialysis:
Filtering out bigotry:-
Otherwise, democracy
Will soon be totally gone:-
when someone comes
to you with so called democracy
and racism,
it is extraordinary
arrogance to never
accept in life.

TODAY’S POTUS’ RED LARVA
Making The Nation
Great Again, he’s erupting
Our democracy:
Oppressive lava flowing
Hot power-mongering blood:-
Some of afraid for democracy
Others, afraid of it
What with today’s 24/7 hypocrisy
My advice is ~ Just shove it
Stimulus check…
blood diamond
from a failed November,
Payment
to a dark tomorrow,
Bribery
—for a future stole
(Dreamsleep November, 2020)
I
One test of the heart of democracy: test Trump's respect for rules
II
If we want power at any cost, we seek company with Saddam, Amin, Jackson.
Deadlier than bullets ballots become if the interests of the few and not of the many serve!

TODAY’S POLITICAL BIRTH CONTROL
They aborted love,
Defertilizing justice:
Birthing injustice:-
Oppression pregnant again:
Democracy miscarried:-
Wills with broken wings
Manufactured poverty
Statistical facts of truth
Strategic lies of promises
All are carried by the Owl
On its back to the masses
A system of checks and balances
Is the fulcrum of democracy
Governments write many checks
But their budgets never balance
~ So how about plutocracy
IN THE PILLARING OF LIFE
Be a pillar
Of peace and love;
Supporting justice
And equity:
Foundations
Of democracy;
And it’s roofing
From above:-
There once was a king who told lies,
like a moth chasing gaslight they rise,
ever drawn to the flame,
unaffected by shame,
true democracy labors and sighs.
democracy
is best not defined
but seems to point
to an equality
beyond all knowing
and in the story
of relationships
may seem as
enlightenment
A democracy, tainted unto it's very core....
Hypocrites standing atop Christianity's podium waving
Fist in the face of, Heaven's Messiah: brazenly mocking, love's light ?
Form:
if my opinions
are your views
and your views
are my opinions
then what’s the point of me...?
a symbiotic clone
ripe for the picking
in a bi-partisan democracy.
