.:Freedom to Dumb Down Like a Dick-headed Dummy:.

 

you think wrong
question
how long?

full grown; with
nose to the grind stone
likened to the dung beetle

you heading home;
patched in streaming for progress
it’s our inter-dependence
thought we’d mention this

GOD Bless America

famished figures
frequently falling into fatigue
financial is always the statement

It’s what Kate Smith really meant

from manic to platonic
the way the money talks
the message is…the Dawn is Dark
and we’re almost free…to dumb

down

as much as we’re almost gone
you think wrong
question how long?

revival or survival?
it’s sundown outside The Big Tent
maybe this is what hate meant?
from potty to latch key to arthritic knee
obituaries for the worker bee
now what do you see?

making sense to some degree?

another factory closed;
another one in it’s finality throes
it’s where the home farm says “grow your own”
more & more it’s what we condone

here wherein willing workers
they’re all besieged
seeking the truth hoping it don’t bleed
flipping’ on out to meet a need
got 1% defining what’s greed

you think wrong; go ahead and impede
question…how long
you’re allowed to intercede
