CIRCULAR MISDiRECTION

By what I ask

do you measure?

Is it perceptions?

yours or mine

think tanks

or iluminati?

Media manipulators

or self deluded

religious shaman?

drunken street philosophers?

Pompous polititions?

money changers

serving themselves

glutinous portions

of our fiat paper money?

where lies value

How many trees

to make a trillion dollars?

Where lies the paper trail?

In vast forrest

that no longer exist?

Where's the duty doctor?

Does he hold the cure

or promote psychological infections

while self medicating

with experimental drugs?

Perhaps we need more water

smaller supplies

higher prices

quenching imaginary thirst

for all we don't need?

What is the anti-venom

to these two legged serpents

the hair of the dog

that bit you?

Blue noses

with pointy little fingers

that hold the mirror

denying the reflection/infection

is none but their own?

How ironic the very laws

written to protect you

serve to infect you

incriminate you

incarcerate and humiliate

while you enjoy

TIME OUT

as you're in the big house

doin time feelin' fine

and rights find

their rightful place

a tiolet where all is flushed away.

Dont you feel clean, sanitized,

hypnotized, mezmerized

and told lots of l;ies  

  oh, you dirty, dirty boy!!

wow! this is an amazing write. I read it more than a few times. The words are strong, direct, clear and delivered with impact. A powerful poem. "By what I ask do you measure..."

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
