Grist for the Mill of Government by Darrell and Kathy Adams Thursday, August 16, 2012 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan It used to be hard to tell the truth sometimes. Now it is hard to know know the truth sometimes. It's a frightening world we live in these days.
Grist for the Mill of Government Fragile. Ever growing brittle rule Overbearing critical fools Governing with sadly dedicated lies Agile. Testing boundaries preset Breaking traditions long met Over reaching, the truth is cleanly excised Magill. Rare, a name, such as this Democracy becomes. The grist For the mills of Liberty for you and I I will. Love my country soundly Declare my devotion loudly Wastefully spending our freedom, we decry! Kathy Adams 2012

The sounds of unrest in this poem percolate with the flavor of discourse given by individuals interviewed on Bill Moyers' journal. The sounds are echoed by countless other voices, but this one poem serves to overlay those dialogues in your skillfully- written diagnoses, prognoses and treatment. "....sadly dedicated lies" packs conviction and compassion in one bite. Excising the truth --- what a clinical spin this is, delivering the slice by using the word 'cleanly', which offers connotation associated with planned surgery: removing the truth tumor. That is a titanium illumination. Besides all of that....the music in the sound of this read aloud is utterly magnificent. ~~ Diana

Jerry I am so afraid you are right...we have to find a way to educate those who don't know and those who come behind us.
