The Usual Suspect
Living in this so-called reality
Feasting off flesh that’s rotten
Turning dreams into desperation
Everything gained was ill-gotten
When your born on third base
It’s not possible to earn respect
Considering the bridges burned
Leading us to the usual suspect

Author's Note
Late night musing. Obviously this one is political. These greedy hacks will be the death of me. It's all death and taxes, baby! With a copious amount of lies mixed in for good measure.

Touche, Shiloh. Both sides are owned by the same corporations, kinda makes them all one and the same. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. It really means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

Everyone wants to bring down the system, but no one wants the inconvenience of the crash - therein lies the problem. And I am part of it because I don't want to see my grandson suffer. And yet he will in a different way if things don't change. What a catch-22 we live in.
Greed is definitely the culprit here.

It is a catch-22 for sure, Tams. Same boat here, I worry about the world my children have to live in. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. Appreciate you.

I try really hard to follow a mantra; "Assume the good".
Obviously it doesn't work half the time. Lol. But, without hope, we are broke/n.
Your frustration is screaming through the lines, we feel it too.
The rhyme is poetic, even as the theme is full of despair.
Well written, as per your high level.

I'm likeminded most of the time, Styxian. But the other half not so much I guess. We do have to have hope I agree, but politicians are able to take away my happy thoughts. Lol. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. Appreciate you.

Politics are the new Olympics.
Everyone is watching now. Nothing can get hidden anymore.
You put this in your own creative style to
get people thinking. Great writing
