In The Final Hour
Collecting pieces to complete the puzzle
Future looks so uncertain in recent times
Demanding that humanity wear a muzzle
While these tyrants are committing crimes
Significant damage from pressure applied
Middle class being snuffed out for ransom
Force-fed lies are causing this great divide
Violent acts starting to look not so random
Political vermin corrupted by their owners
Obedient slaves kneel to the hand of power
Legislation is made to appease the donors
A deliberate smokescreen in the final hour

Late night musing. It's sad that the middle class is being killed off slowly. It looks a lot different these days as opposed to when I was a kid. Appreciate you.

" Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night
Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight
Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march
Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark"

Oh so true my friend. Bullseye! You hit this topic with precision & accuracy. The middle class isn't the same when we were growing up. No doubt. A fantastic write.

It's just second-hand nature to write on the topic of democracy and its corruption in the modern world, isn't it? Heh, it is a heart-felt passion and pursuit, to seek the necessary justice, and the answers to the questions as to why. I often find myself writing a lot on the darkness and sin I see in the world, so I can relate to the feverish passion of this, and some of your other works. Bravo, good job! Perhaps one day we'll revel in and cherish a better world for everyone. Anyway, your overall depiction in this is good. The last paragraph/stanza is my favorite. You seem to drive the point home of the insanity being considered. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to reading you again. Peace!

It was second-hand nature to read, but I don't mean that in that it's overgeneralized - simply, that's where artists like us are at our best.
