Just letting out a bit of anger in the best way I know how.

Can They Spell Injustice?

With not an utterance of “Mother May I,”
but tripping the guilt lagged from an era
that should have been bedded long ago,
though still sleep walks in board room minds,
I slip into colors that would blush
a rogue’s cheeks seven shades of scarlet.
For white gloved whispers from
glossy lips sound seemingly
hollow in these halls.

I debate as an anomaly,
an honest politician...

Shall I once again step upon
this Ivory Snow box
at passion’s height,
to attempt displace of
morality misplaced,
or step away exhausted from
the impossibilities?

I wonder-
Can they spell injustice?

We must choose our battles carefully,
m'dear...and keep our adversaries close!

Well done vent!

It did me good to read this this morning. Thanks for posting - I also thought your imagery was really good.  I especially liked:

"For white gloved whispers from

I take no credit for my poems. Although I write them, I feel
more like I transcribe them. It's just a matter of listening.

Patricia, I think we should stand up for what we believe in.
Otherwise we are letting our own beliefs down.

I like the way you did this poem. It is so real!!

and, yeah, You go girl!!

Patricia,
Injustice is a bird of flight
And the color is not snow white.
Good write, enjoyed.

(big angel hugs) Politicians choose to spell just how they want to spell, I suppose, and it doesn't matter when WE, the PEOPLE, never get to see it! (sad sigh) Currently this nation is under huge injustice and I vow to do all I can even in my limited power to help bring justice back, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
