The Show

The populace v. the Presidents!

In this corner, we have the elite--

The men that most men just call the Man.

In the opposite, stand the populace--

The majority that hold powers in number.

They have battled to the death throughout the world.

Throughout time.

Kings, Queens, Dictators have fallen due to the outcomes of shows such as this,

But often times, the corner with the most simply sits in fear.

Only time will tell who will be the winner here.

-------

Infinite destruction--

Can’t take any instruction.

Brilliant insurrection--

Moves without direction.

False sincerity

In painful mediocrity.

The depths of despair

The final ring of the fair.

It’s a show.  It’s a show!

Come to the show tonight.

We all know.  We all know--

That we can do it right.

It’s a test!  It’s a test;

Just try to do your best

At the show.  At the show,

Before they all go home.

Horrible resolution

Of this faulty revolution.

No synergistic fusion.

Can’t find any solution.

They roll out the tanks.

No one’s giving us our thanks.

Run away in fear,

Or you’re the only one still here.

[Coyote Poetry]

Its does feel like a show sometimes. We stand by the wayside waiting to see who may win? I like the description and the very good ending. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
