methods obscene

Swat mosquitos, yank a weed

shoot a wolf to save the sheep

Slaughter a cow us to feed

drop an A-bomb so we all can sleep

Immigration close the door

twist speech's tongue in a knot

first bleed then feed the poor

politically correct history taught

Once discipline now child abuse

gambling illegal gun control

only the state can lotteries produce

what drugs can be used or murders extol

Forced sexual equality a solution

government demanded vaccine

right to life vs guillotine execution

righteousness by methods obscene

clear and clean voiced wake up call - many echoes here to some of my favorite song lyrics by Bob Dylan, Jackson Brown and others - so many voices crying in the wilderness to " make straight paths " and warning " woe unto you who call evil good" - appreciate and share you angst - Write on - carl

So glad you stopped by friend. Thank you for the encouraging words of support they are deeply appreciated.

Like anyone listens to the IIC (idiots in charge). They peddle poisons and war. Make your own decisions. That's the only freedom there is or ever was. Individuality is freedom.

[Soren]

Thanks Fabian for the read and comment I do appreciate it.

There are many contradictions in government and they say and do what is beneficial to their own gain and pockets. They say what we want to hear and do as they please. It’s all a roll of the dice in politics.

[Soren]

Thank you so much for the review and words of support they are greatly appreciated. As for politics I have rejected that word from my dictionary long ago

[Poetic Beauty]

I completely understand that sentiment. I don’t really pay attention to much of it. Can’t do much about it anyway.

It is the times of today were the far left had only have their say but their proposals now law, yep, its gone way too far, commonsense now near nonextant, I feel your angst come through in this carefully considered and contemporary, relatable poetic read!!

[Soren]

Thank you so much Tom for the review and kind understanding words they are most appreciated

Fine meter hugged by both your force of dignity and a kind of defiance against the goings-on of the utter irreverence of politics. 'Give the people what you think they want - then take the reins of what we think is good for us!' Your poem has superb power and how you coped with what your facts say within your rhyming skills is extraordinary! Many thanks for sharing, Soren.

[Soren]

Thank you so much Emmajoy for such a humbling review it is most gracious.

Thanks so much JD for the review and comment yea who knows what's right and what's wrong and who id to say.

'Methods Obscene' is a poem written so rightly. All the wrongs described are very relatable. The Imagery too is profound and I love the rhyming in this one. It's all bang on, dear Soren.
We had our election results today and all the despots are returning to power. Nothing ever changes, really. Well-written, my friend.

Thank you so much Divya I appreciate your review and support as well as most kind words.
