why ask for wisdom from
selectively-elected seers,
(the ones whose egos are as
bloated as their campaign speeches)
to continually be blinded by
false gods of global greed
and power to explain the results
of their transgression that
what can never be explained,
truthfully. . .
and why do accusers continually
run in repetitive circles
to catch a clue for reasons why
when the path where the oppressor jogs
is nowhere close to your neighborhood;
it is no mystery that the utterances of the season
are less audible than the blended gibberish
spoken by a bus full of prepubescent students on a
6th grade field trip who care not about protecting
the rights of no one but their own, for the
voice of the people has been thrown by
master ventriloquists who are less concerned
about the prophets of the homeland, and
more concerned about beating around the bush
where the olives protected by the
dove of peace have been
snatched off the branch
by flocks of counting crows.
