.:Heads and Tales:.
this write, this is for the democrat and the republican
the independents and those on-the-fringe curmudgeons
the main streeters and all them wall streeters
them investment managers, them brokers
the ones in disguise; the industrial plant eaters
closers as posers; the manipulators
the ones who place lives on meters; calling ‘em
bottom feeders
can’t forget those saints Pete’s & Paulee’s
the one’s in those torn wife-beaters
and those thugs who need hugs
but instead they just squeezing off them glock triggers
included in this fist is all you who didn’t know
...didn’t know y’all the brand new niggers
can’t forget the ex-Wal-Mart greeters
and also the blood blank bleeders (too many L’s; what the hell)
and them “quiet arrival” lawn feeders
less we forget the “best-you-cop-a-plea” pleaders
them ADA’s and public defenders?
lounging in the pubs sharing chicken fingers
this is for all of y’all wanting a slice of the pie
this write is on the attack and
you aughta know why
sooner or later
we all
fall
in
line
one way or another; together
we’re plugged-in
into the rush; hear the hush?
we do; because we surely can
sums of which we can’t…rushing
into it
each action; we flip for it
setting up a notion, no emotion
each & everyday
almost total dismay
yet, promises made; saying
we’re going to make some headway
the setup; built
for the head sway
jaded
consider the daydreamt and the day traded
the outcome for today’s heads
local, state and feds
the cock holders..
with their winks, handshakes & manila folders
the elated with fees inflated
bank on it; we call this…getting ahead and
doing it the best way we can
when we can
we participate in each calculated illusion
inching forward; on the borrow
lock stepped into a dead-end tomorrow
again & again…this is the bottom line
where at the head of the line
the heads of the line
they just wait
as they continue to calculate
waiting with their buttons to push
needing for us to rush
when we can
and again we’ll pretend
along with the heads of the line
pretending we always wanted to be just like them
one on whom we know we can always depend
right through to the end
rushing us & them
you know
to our
end

I feel this way down..I don't like political poetry as a rule-I like my meat and potatoes separately, lol..but this pulled me in with its intelligent style and held me there with its rhythmic beat and the emotion behind it-I am into this style and look forward to seeing more of your stuff! Thanks..

Nice write again about the times we live in ... To quote one Jeanie Manning, "It is difficult for people to to thrive in a world in which decisions are influenced by profits instead of prophets."
