The thread
consistant but endless
hides between the warp
and weft of life.


Few persons
ever see it clearly
when they do
they use for their own gain.


Those unseeing
often poor, often ignorant
become the market
become the producers.


Seeing allows
the corporate, government
to fill their mouths
their pockets and their hearts.


How virtueous, how kind
they smile, they beam
telling us all
how lucky we are they lead.


We, poor souls
could not survive
without their
democracy, church, power.

It is such a shame that America has to be such an evil place. Is there nothing in this country that is good? Oh, yes, I forgot. All of us "poor" people. WE are good. WE never do anything bad. WE are wonderful people who never could think anything but the most pious thoughts. Sometimes, I just wish they would give a course in grade school, high schol and college on George Orwell's <i/>Animal Farm! </i>

How right you are my friend I have been fighting red tape to get my disability pension for six months now, I did my 30 years but now they think I should do 20 more with bum heart so they won't have to pay me as much. Power is a cruel thing to hold in the wrong hands.
