Sweet slumber of indifference.......

AMERICAN DREAM


 


 


 


 


Dozing watchmen


Asleep at the wheel


Sweet slumber of indifference


Sedated


Proletariat multitude


Whacked on narcotic apathy


Stagnant spirit


Insipid eyes


Blank stare of nihility


Anesthetized sting


Haunting sonorous moans


Deaths knell


Tortured subsistence


Mighty military machine


Arrogant vision of world dominance


Drunk on wine of aggression


Direct repercussions


Synthetic American dream


Mirage of freedom and success


Nightmarish phantasm


Stunned commonwealth


Bereft bourgeois


Controlled


By aristocratic puppet bureaucracy


Prostrate prey


Devoured


By insatiable power behind the throne


Deceived denizens


Tumble blindly


Into the void

Bill, really enjoyed this one. I have similar thoughts from time to time, although not expressed as vividly as yours. HB

It is always an indeed pleasure to read such fine well written artistic work. I love coming out to my favorite den where you all inspire me so much every day. What I read share and know is such a wonderful view. Stay focused and always write on.
