Red Alert! Danger! Beware!

Red alert!
Danger!
Beware!
Warning signs of situations
That demand our attention

Apathy -- blind conformity
Fear -- greed
Threaten loss of freedom of speech
Politics determine
What we see -- hear -- read -- and eat

Excessive consumerism
Media -- deliberate false information
Spawns faulty rationalization
Love-less priorities
Dominate today's society

What standard measure
Dare we now select
To inspire us
To assist and guide us
Toward a higher quest?

Red alert! Danger! Beware!
Materialistic persuasion
Corporate power -- personal greed
Our lust
All determine our future destination

excellent poem on the political and social climate ... the intensity of your wording and voice reinforces the necessity to confront this condition before it's too late ... at this point, the future appears bleak ...

As more people ignore our "Old Ironsides" ~ closer to slaveyard we get. "Red Alert! Danger! Beware!"... If we continue to allow Congress and Government to violate our U.S. Constitution we can read now the future HEADLINES: "USA BECAME THE MOST POPULATED SLAVEYARD of the New World."

Glad to read "Red Alert! Danger! Beware!"... A voice of a true American recorded in a page that enriches social Poetry.

In admiration,

Unfortunately we as citizens have always been, and always will be lambs led to slaughter. Only when we as one get the backbone to take the problem to a higher height (Revolution) will we once again become a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
