Poem Artwork

 


have EYES DIVINE gone blind
on those who glory in themselves?
and what about the ones whose gods
are faeries, gnomes and elves?

will once-aspiring- Lands of Oz
where college dreams came true ,
become unstuck with any luck?
does Congress have a clue?

they tout “Glory Halle-lu-JAH!”
sounds so pure in their conventions,
while potentates pass offering plates
with emerald intentions

why do holy rollers feed the need
to squash this sinking land,
and will “Rock of Ages” matter
where their feet once used to stand?

Wow - powerful and true piece...

-- Unlike Ms. B. Henry, I see no colors (race) in your poem. It seems to be for all people of all races to me.

Yeah, politics seems to be a profession where the player must all be or become corrupt or compromised.

I watched the video and everyone should. Throughout history those that wish to rule have used de-humanizing rhetoric to demean others. We speak of freedom and don't give it to others. We speak of freedom of religion and don't respect those of others. We are two-faced and arrogant, hypocrites when we tout false ideologies.

America's obsession with guns in the gun culture is a good example of how far we have left the idea of peaceful living behind in favor of hiding behind our fears––false fears––that someone, somehow is out to get us, kill us, or take away our materialistic possessions that are really meaningless when regard them with false intentions.
