Ode to the Politician

My eyes have reached a reprise
And are no longer disillusioned
To the intricate lies… in which your
Mouth speaks….

A greater truth is cast
into the not so distant past
Some of us are open to a greater understanding
For which you wish to lay dormant

The awakening of souls suppressed
Cannot lay sleeping in her restlessness
She must speak out of the truth…
in which you chose to disguise in words
…of liberation

Truth is… freedom is bound
Spoon fed lies from the beginning of time
As you mar our histories
You make us hold one hand to the heart
pledging allegiances to a nation
that is more concerned with domination
than the people that compose your population

We watch as the destitute rise up
your greed has superseded the need
Of your so called people
Children taken to life in the streets
Bellies unable to feed
While your cup overflows
And you sit like a king
On a throne in the chamber of deceit

The rich getting richer and the poor losing more
And you feed us lies hoping to keep us systemized
While you disguise your personal victor
With false promises upon your lips

You hope we turn a blind eye and believe
In the illusions and delusions that you feed us
and just because you chose to decorate deception
in defamations called American dreams
we are not ignorant to the fact
that our so called… freedoms…are anything but free
