Fail/Safe

Bellicosity
Fakery
Genius
Contempt for Truth
Hundreds of thousands of residents
Citizens children the aged
Running for their lives
To find 1950s era bunkers
Somewhere near oceans that
Connect imposters to life
That tie delusions of reality
Between primitive and opulence
Pyongyang and Mar-a-Lago
Both paid with stolen funds
Sheltered from reality by
Goose steps and golf carts
Tinseled medallions of
Make believe.

Meanwhile
Standing there on the brink of insanity
On the precipice overlooking
Eternity
Where groping hands
Obese forms
And fake haircuts
Come face to face
With nuclear codes
Unable to decipher
Fact from fiction
What is from
What never was
They see only images
Of self at the center
Of stages that
Slowly shift
And fade away
Two blobs passing
In the night
Where darkness
Descends and
Gives no quarter.

Greetings to Author Poet Edward Phillips.

Peace and Wisdom.

Much gratitude to You for this courageous posting.

"Fail/Safe" is a golden Scroll, and its words tell me to act now. I have learned from their wisdom and poetic sustainability.

A quote from a freedom's searcher:

"You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." Abraham Lincoln

"Fail/Safe" takes me on a historical trip, and makes me cerebrate on ontoligical and social matters.

The great majority can't read or think, so the major terrorists of the Earth can play any game to entertain their supporters, the main makers of weapons.

The picture is: They can't read due to the fact that their family can't think, therefore the school system can't teach the basic language of the basic school, and in College they don't teach anyone to read, because the average University instructor can't read or think anything that is not prescribed on their "Do as I told You book".

My comments are based on fifty years of observation and over a million pages of documentary evidences.

As long as governments and religious leaders function in accordance with the daily prescribed rules of ERIS and ARES, PLUTO will be working full time, enjoying the smell of the holocaust of children in all corners of the Earth.

People still have time to say "No" to corruption, and false patriotism.

Viva the Poet!

In reverent appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

With the school shooting in South Florida, we are definitely back to duck and cover. Even our children live in peril of a government gone wrong.

A punishing dissertation on the power mongers who know so little, yet proclaim so much... forget PC, it's garbage.

Beautifully portrayed how these two bellicose blowhards are so different yet so alike in their huffing and puffing posturing while so close to pushing the button.

What is amazing is how the good people of Korea put up with him and the good people of the United States elected the other. I guess people would be rather be led around by the nose that act in their true behalf.

"Tinseled medallions of make-believe" that seems all too true by these reigning idiots. This is the world we now live in. Pathetic.
