Nevermore "The People"

Nevermore "The People"

A Poem by Michael G. Smith
"

The uniformed voter

"

Please, if only you would remove all or part of oxidative heart "without pill"

Turn back the one blind eye to this deprecating world

And allow the climb of mind up and over impossible wills

Escaping safety lulls and routines in life's daily grind guild

Then you shall witness up close, fall of empire such as Constantine's Byzantine

Hear the crumble for yourself under greed's political juggernaut machine

And Rome's demise evermore proxy revelant, as the speck of night starlight shining

Where its birthing  sun like history's ghost now not breathing nor burning

And Americans whom now in question merely whisper the words,  "home of the free?" afraid and on cusp of Jenga nation teetering

When myriad men join the devil's playground in all its glory corruption

So, who can tell me "how long is it before our elected officials...

No longer consider themselves part of "We The People"

And when we can't think too highly of ourselves

If we continue watching fabricated news spewed out from agencies such as BBC, Aljazeera and CNN
