Last Liberal

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

I suppose this is a rant, but it is Free Verse flow, in how bad America has become in Hate dividing US. That by bringing a dialog between two extremes Today is almost criminal. that we must teach dogma into our Education, where Morticians decide what we teach, what is allowable to suit their 1% of America.

The reason, I use this Liberal Mug is that, God gave it to me to either defend in my words or retreat into my womb, room, tomb. It is brutal out there, the Hate is permeating what America stands for now: Politics over Love of Country.

Last Liberal

A lone bee,
a room womb tomb
Isolated no personal
cell call silence
No personal emails
to ponder over
Four walls close in,
straight jacket tight
Then CPR lets out
sighs surviving
Last Liberal
defending Democracy
Religious dogma
must defeat Independence
Flock must comply,
come back to roost.

Invisible walls,
invisible locks,
coffin of sorts
Being buried
Alive being inside,
an invisible jail cell
What crime is it
to open closed
mind frames
Who are compliant
complicit
conformist clones.

Picture a Church
in America,
in the HeArt of Ohio.
Wherein Ohio
you will find;
The Circle,
The Center,
The Compass
and The Spokes
(Tallmadge).
In the middle of this,
this Church steeple
stands stellar.
It Shows that
in every direction
The Center of America
is indivisible,
and encompasses
The Circle,
not to be broken.
That in The Compass,
We as Americans,
use The Spokes
to unite us,
with communication flowing
in and out,
to The Center of United States
binding together as neighbors,
family, friends, and Country.

What crime be it
To Love these
United States of America
Who God blessed US with
The Freedom to question
Insight Our own owned souls
Those who rule
dominant over US
As Morticians,
be elected Politicians
Who have forsaken US
“We The People”
Who elected them
So they will choose lambs
Who can vote and follow.
Gerrymandering a minority
In select choreographed majority
Selecting who is entitled.
But mostly -
Who is naught - To Be.

Womb tomb room
RIP Van Winkle lays fetal
Naught yet Liberal
fatal prone
Living the American Dream
Found only inside closed eyes
As one wakes to eat, drink,
dew pee mists and shits
Oh, I know you Puritanical
You can label this obscene
That is why I am in
Time Out
Sleeping my life
Wasting away my future
Naught Too Bee
Buried soon the
For ever and then
even more
hereafter
Will Headstone inscribe
Last Liberal

(Bet you, you cannot call me, email me, contact me; because they made Liberals and Democracy indivisibly - invisible.)

You are not the last professing progressive (I like the word better than liberal) but you certainly have portrayed the Renaissance man, Ben Franklin very well in the way that he viewed how our government should be and was a major influence in making it as democratic as possible. And certainly, as possible from control by religious zealots.

I have been labeled as liberal, and really hate it when somehow being open-minded is equated with communism the way that it has been misused by dictatorial committees acting like dictators instead of true professors of equality of opportunity. Others liberally proclaim their freedom to bear arms to harm and violate laws in order to climb the hierarchy of survival of the business fittest arriving at the wealthy dynasty that no longer works but influences everything the government does by tax dodges and bribes called donations.
