Death By The Election Chair

Shooting straight from the hip and walking on the shell casings.

 

Expanding the lungs

won’t help you beat the rap

under the rubble

of capital punishment’s collapse.

You built this empire

with a headstrong

state of mind

but couldn’t prevent

getting lost in the

heart(attack) of the city.

Since the word revival

is not in your vocabulary

you hold the golden sickle

during your acceptance speech

with pride… or complacency?

Letting your ego be the fortuneteller

will get you as far as

your headstone…

But the afterlife of your reign

will be darker than being

six feet under.

...hmmm, deep subject, like "Religion"...one word: "Bilderburg". I follow all of it...the "machine" has been in operation since the 1st world war...the government behind the government...you know who they are...peace out my friend. LOl...guess that was more than one word huh,:)

[Sheila Kline]

Oh yes! You follow their devious plan as I do!! It is the big boys and girls behind all of us!!

[Patricia Wedel]

Ten years later, the Dragon spits Fire again...
God will Judge his Deeds. Amen

[SM Davis]

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you, Again.

[TL Boehm]

OUCH - a poetic smack to the back of the dome this was. Keep thumping em till they wake up, Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Double ouch... thank you so much.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Hefty write. A plain-spoken piece for the masses that will never understand.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Because they are blinded by the media.

[writing mojo]

welcome to the machine, this is greased with the perfect amount of word choice and charisma, it could be sold door to door like snake oil, great piece

[Tina Kline]

A very powerful poem I say. Sometimes if not always corruption comes home to roost and when looking at you in it's eye you see a not so nice place where you're going. But corruption keeps come back. No one ever learns.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

So very true.

[KAOlmsted]

I'm actually for capital punishment, so I don't really know what I should feel after reading this...I get the sense it's aimed at a specific target but, me in my cocoon of oblivion *laugh* I have no idea who...ah well...you didn't misspell anything ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well good to know that I didn't misspell anything. Thank you for reading :)

[KAOlmsted]

;-) Always my pleasure, Dale.

[LA Lorena]

Very heavy stuff Cowboy! You have tackled a deep and difficult subject, kudos! It takes bravado to do so. How many did you piss off with this? ;)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I have no idea, the pissed off haven't come forward, LOL.... thank you.

[Frieda P]

You certainly didn't sugar coat this one, I guess when you're writing of gov't and corruption that would be impossible to do. Powerful read. What's that I smell burning?

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yeap holding back on subjects like that are hard to hold back... sugar coating is for the media.

[SkinlessFrank]

they say that sometimes it can take 15 minutes to kill a person this way, and that on occasion, the head will catch fire

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I cannot argue with that.
