Aye For Wrong, Nay For Right (poem) by Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU on AuthorsDen

“Aye For Wrong, Nay For Right”

When the indifference only knows money
And the mace of people is on their pay,
Honor is a shame and outlaws drink honey.

If one can’t see when it’s a mule or pony,
And pony’s bought as a mule, — as to say, —
When the indifference only knows money.

Man, king animal that can be as phony,
As a beast turning beauty in a play…
Honor is a shame and outlaws drink honey.

Friends, family, neighbors, a loyal crony,
Are human values going to decay,
When the indifference only knows money.

The human rights agreements are baloneys,
For The United Nations block their way…
Honor is a shame and outlaws drink honey.

The eyes and heart of JUSTICE are made stony,
Saying “Aye” to war lords, when LAW says “Nay”,
When the indifference only knows money,
Honor is a shame and outlaws drink honey!

Note two:

Be it known: Every day banks report their financial activities to the Bank Authorities; to THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION; all the investment banks and underwriters must do the same to The UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION; therefor, the banking authorities know how the banking system is rolling every day.

Wake Up America! No one can fool around with Your money, unless the banking authority's officials allow.

The banking authorities know all the banking activities of the country daily. How come Bernard Madoff spent ten years collecting over fifty billion dollars, and no government officials were never called to explain? The other colleagues of his? For the money they misappropriated, the present government gifted them with privileged loans... The rest of the story is now part of our history of corruption.

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." ― Abraham Lincoln

Ah Andre. Waking up is one thing.Doing something about it quite another.I admire Abraham Lincoln greatly but men like him alas are so few and far between.I fear America will go the way of ancient Rome. Luke

it would be so wonderful if money was equally divided among all of us, rather than the way it is. I read a post that there are some higher ups in the world who made so much cash last year alone that they could save some old world country from hunger. I cannot even fathom that kind of money...let alone the deficit that keeps accruing and accruing. I just learned that Burger King admits to using horse meat from another country imported. That makes no sense to me either. We need a woman leader. Thanks for sharing you empirical knowledge & too the Abe Lincoln quote

Feudal Lords cultivate entrapment
thus flourishing us to poverty
We The People Revolt Revolt Revolt

Since I see more poetically than politically, this is a sweet piece of political poetics, Andre Emmanuel! Most times it seems to me the world is out of tune, discordant, and outer-worded. Money is just a common term for wealth, and foolishness and self, perverted. Yet, these are 'bad times', as they've been before. When does the life-sucking-bank give back it dividends? Before, or After?

Money sure does seem to be the name of the game today. I just saw a PBS biography on Henry Ford. For all his money, the man was not corrupted until he aged and became suspicious of Jewish people and defied unions. Money seems to always have been in control and it will take everything the common people have to throw the money changers out.

Wake up America, we are becoming the greatest slave yeard of the history of Man. We support industrialists of wars in the name of freedom that we never had. The citizenry that ignores the history of the country; that never respects the Constitution, is an outlaw. That goes to everyone in the Oval Office and in Congress too. We live and function under Dictorship based on the system of Two Lords (Dictators) and One Vassal that serves them.

I agree!
