Poem Artwork



Hour by hour, abuse of power,
rolls down the rusty lane.

Racking up a score,
until the raven says,
"Nevermore."

And the clock returns,
to "before."

Wasted nights and wicked rites,
sapping the left from right.

Darkening clouds of discontent,
shatter the great good night.

Never before has such an ire,
darkened the skies of delight.

Dead poets slip from the site,
their entrails bordering on fright.

Sooner or later, the amplified it,
will raise its mighty might.

And the meek will rise to ostracize,
bring the abuse to light.

Dissolving in the afterglow,
of truly equal right.

The day the meek rise will be an interesting day.

Ron, an excellent evaluation of the current political scene in Washington, D.C. and many if not most of the state governments in America today. So very reminiscent of the old political block style of politics during the nineteen twenties, thirties and early fifties. The era of corrupt mayors in major cities who ruled America's political machines. Odd, because one of our current prominent politicians in Washington D.C. today, is the daughter of one mayor still considered to be among the top fifty most corrupt mayors in American history. A Baltimore, MD native. Interesting and spot on accurate Ron. Peace be always with you my friend. Jon Michael
