The governments got me buggin’. I must admit I’m not quite pleased. We trusted and elected a counsel to lead us straight but I’m afraid their straight and my straight aren’t the same in the least. We got soldiers on foreign soil, and heads of state are fightin’ over oil, yet the price to fill my tank is still so high. We pay our taxes to the feds who take our taxes and buy them benzes and we get potholes in our streets and new strains of flu bugs in our meats. We’re told that terrorists are the ones trying to bring our nation low, but our leaders are the ones supplying the “bad men” with the funds to do so. Shame, shame, shame one the ones who rise up and question the authority. But who governs the government and the politicians of our territory? We the People was the plan but somehow and somewhere that plan was altered and we were scammed. Our history’s full of lies and deceit yet our textbooks speak of distorted views and half told truths. We’re a great melting pot, but who mixed the brew? Did so many races just come together or were they told to…..or made to? Why can’t the truth be told? Why does it have to be bottled up and sold to those who only share their spin on NBC or CNN. Meanwhile we sit and wait to hear of our loved ones fate but all we hear is a bunch of quotes jotted down amongst a bunch of notes and twisted to try and get our vote. What a joke. They got eyes up in the skies so that they can see inside your private lives and try and catch you doing stuff that they say is not quite good enough. Still they break laws most everyday yet they can get away with it the “legal way”. Now tell me who’s the crooks; the ones who are doctoring the books or the man who has a stash of herbal hash under the nook? You be the judge, don’t look to me, you be the one to stand and speak. You be the one to tell the truth of how we’re messin up the youth and pumpin lies into their heads and shipping them off just to bring them back dead. You tell his mom its for a good reason that her child died before his season and that we’re fightin for more than peace; it’s more about politics than the threat of the middle east. Fabricating things brought this country to where we are, but this time they fabricated things a little too far. They wrote the scripts and told the tails and tried to hide all the details by showing us tragedy and dead passenger lists to make us stand and shake our fists at foreign leaders and terrorists. All the while disguising the real deeds that brought so much death and misery by making reports and writing books to try and hide the real crooks. Yet in the end their agenda won, they got us all to blame someone. We pointed fingers at the east and placed a face upon the beast and then we gave that face a name and yelled, “Osama was to blame!” But who is really to blame? What is that stranger’s name? I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels the same. |

I know this is not in any special format. It is written just as it came from my mind. The poem might be chaotic in nature, but I think it says what I needed to say at the moment. |

wow.... very intense... I love it. I think that some people may be intimidated that there isn't more structure and may overlook it. Just a suggestion, doll. This is one that doesn't deserve to be overlooked! Our scars are the foundation for what we have become |

*speechless* I didnt like the rhyme scheme at all, but this was among the most emotion filled peices Ive read in quite a while! It reminded me alot of Mosh from Eminem, yet it was so different. Im adding this one to my library! 9/10 Gods and Demons, |
