Effort and a feign Fake I deffend A promise uprooted From the family tree Consistency Subsatance thick as syrup Pretended and floating cloud 9 To the highest glory False hope and doom A game of peek-a-boo Rustic the sword of vengence And honor melts With the truth And the cry of Lady Justice Failed complaints and tighter control The rope tightens and power A flimsy word called law An oxymoron in pratice The truth set against the cake And our judicial branch reaches 320{lbs} A governmental thumb placed Seals the blind spot of the body Signature of the free and the subsequent contract A slave of the people for the people Control of our destiny, flattered embers Tighter the request and vote Misscalculated one and two A process of accident must preceed As we smash our faces Collasping on our dead roots Dry and withered Sentimental machines Power and the core of evil Money becomes useless Democracy and prison a systematic unit a trickle of music from a well |

Ah... Just one question: How in the *edit*WORLD*edit* do you combine politics and poetry so well?!? You made me nod in agreement and think at the same time... Wow. Needless to say, I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing! ~Alicia |

Craig, again, very nice thoughts here: Rustic the sword of vengence And honor melts With the truth And the cry of Lady Justice Failed complaints and tighter control I agree with Kaoru, this isnt necessarily dark. You may want to take a twirl in open sometime. Check your spelling too K? (I know I think I said that last time) I love your writing and agree with your ideals xxoo |

thanx guys, i prolly should post in open more often, but everything there goes by so fast that it seems most people dont really get a chance to read your work. And here in dark it usually sticks around a few days. lol And my spelling is horrible, I need to get a pocket websters. GIS a trickle of music from a well |

I feel awkward, littlewing. I think my response to your previous response was a lil rude and it wasnt mean to be. If it was, then sorry. GIS a trickle of music from a well |
