"We The People"

Wake up sheeple!

We The People getting raped and bullied down

So many without a job, so many wearing a frown

Presidents, lawmakers, and cheaters sit up high

Wiping their asses with our blood stained money

Vacationing, drinking, dancing and parading a crown.

 

Many of you worship a counterfeit of a man

So smart, he needs a teleprompter to talk the talk

Still waiting I am for him to walk the walk

I don't care if my thoughts are not your own

We each have the freedom to make our voices known.

 

Pay attention and wake the hell up all of you

Damn you if you think this does not affect what you do

Our forefathers are rolling over in their graves

Our Bill of Rights is hitting the shredder

How in hell will this make our lives better!

Amazingly, politics are so similar from country to country that this is relatable. I could tell you horror stories about our province, and wrote a couple poems like this myself now and again. Democracy really is a "lessor of the evils" sort of game, and for some reason the smart people are always on the wrong side of the vote.

I'm not a big Fox News watcher, I just caught wind of this video somewhere and I saved it. I believe that what he says is most likely true. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=52b_1329796059

Wow. This one made me made me want to cheer.....but its so true too so I feel sick about how true this is. Yikes.

Well done Muse. You are not afraid to speak your mind, and yet intuitive as hell too.

Don't get me started. I am glad you were able to say what I want to. Usually I get attacked for stating these things so I don't bother, because the "tolerant" ones are the most intolerant of others' opinions.

Ever listen to Iris Dement..."Wasteland of the Free"? Your poem reminds me of her song.

[Muse]

I don't think so...I saw this magazine laying out in the waiting room one day. I was shocked by my own stirring of emotions. I felt like the title itself was blaspheming everything our brave men and woman have died and worked so hard for.

[Muse]

And this is by far not "one of my better" poems..but I felt like I needed to vent.

Very interesting work... this makes me think who should I vote for in the UK and the struggle that Scotland has to be independent... Excellent work :D

[Robin]

a call to rights , a call to sanity - your voice loud and clear on the beatings freedom is taking under the "guidance" of our "leaders" . well voiced Musey !

[Brad Nugent]

Words of protest, powerfully written. To my ear the rhythm may have been a bit out - it didn't seem to flow as well as some of your other work. All in all though, a strong write.
