hmmm... Orwell had it right


Poem Artwork

Small minds, with the option to do something right

Yet blind to all reason ...all sense out of sight,

Land blindly in power and spew their beliefs 

Only to find that a 'chief-leech' debriefs

And defiles their notions, thus turning weak heads

To a lifetime of crime ...and delirium spreads

'til they're lining their pockets, fulfilling their need

To give birth to a demon, they've spawned from their greed...


A parasite, feeding on fawning comrades

Sucking the bones of its pompous parades

Growing to ugly, ungainly proportion

Crippling our life-force with crushing extortion

It’s blubberous form, making reckless demands,

Goes slithering past all the world's reprimands

And there, in it's wake, is the slime and the stench

Of the dirt it bestows each political bench...


No seat left untainted, no ribbon unstained

No integrity thrives there, no truth is retained

Millions, engulfed in its slick serenade

All clutching their straws, being wildly betrayed

While vocalized poisons are setting the scenes

Obscuring the truth, via digital screens

Invading the households of all but a few

Dispensing a hog-wash with rose tinted hue -

A hard-hitting reveal of what is going on in government these days. The citizen legislator that serves for free are only expenses in a short term of service, is gone. In place, are career politicians only interested in making a name for themselves with accompanying wealth.

As Shakespeare long ago stated… "Something is rotten in the state of…"

Your words express so much of how I, and I'd bet many others, feel about this "situation at hand". Your last line sums it up! Excellent write!

Love ya!

Jane
