Tis the Season

'Tis the season
hunting season
on the politically incorrect
those who refuse
to pay your dues
and honor your claims of neglect

'Tis the season
hating season
for those making their own way
refusing to bow
to your sacred cow
believing that each should pay

Take a shot
take your very best shot
take another to say you’ve tried
then look in the mirror
look very clear
at the reason your problems survive

Hate me because of my family
or the color of my skin
hate me because of my worldview
or the fact I was raised to win

Hate me in your ignorance
as your profess yourself so wise
hate me with your bigotry
and the greed beneath your eyes

'Tis the season
open season
with those whom you disagree
yet your petty little bitterness
will never set you free

Bravo! So true, Lori. It is sad that we attempt to reduce everyone and everything to our own mean denominator sometimes, in order for us not to feel so bad about ourselves. Sure is a downward spiral though. Vision is what inspires hope - but my goodness how the visionaries get it in the neck sometimes before the rest of us have any idea of the light they can shed! "Bitterness will never set you free" - yeah, but some work on the basis of "Well, if I can't be free, why the hell should anyone else?!" Can see it so well in my own family. Sad but true. Good write, TY Kate xx

There is wisdom revealed in this write...2nd & 4th stanzas really amplify the truth in this piece...People need to take responsibility for their lives instead of making excuses or believing that they are entitled to be rewarded for someone elses hard work.

Lori, each stanza is a stand-alone poetic snapshot of the current theme that may one day be buried forever in a time capsule along with all the hate and discontent that continues to spread. Hopefully it all shall pass into oblivion very soon, and true world peace and harmony will prevail on this spinning blue dot, we call Earth. Thank you for posting your work. Take good care and be well.
