The sheep
are being herded
into the corral
for shearing
and eventual
slaughter
The media
does its job
group think
is the imperative
any lambs
that slip
outside the
cage
are to be
shorn first
reminding
others
what happens
to those
that don't
stay in line
The liberals
demonize
Russia
Bernie
embraces
the 'resistance'
in Syria
Activists
defend the
FBI director
who heads
an agency
known
for infiltration
and destruction
of 'radical' groups
The CIA,
long linked
to drug running
arms sales
assassinations
coups d'etat,
claims
purity
much like
the Vatican Bank
Up
is down
War
is peace
In
is out
Freedom
ain't so free
Independence
is restricted
Free thought
and expression
are shunned,
like lepers
sent
to remote
islands
Fear
now reigns
like
the mad
kings and queens
We are
reluctant
to think
for ourselves
to speak
about
what we see
Don't stand out
keep your
mouths
shut tight
it might
just cost
you
something
or someone
you love
Back
into the pen
safe
and
sound
Everything
is normal
now.....

Powerful poem. Oh, yes, how we crave our normality... even as it leads to our destruction.
ReplyDeleteThere is another way out of this duality, though. It's plain and simple, and very spiritual. We just start caring more for each other, loving deeper.
Thx Ariel - well said and so darn true.
