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 Grimes Jr. 2005

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.
