#POLITICS AND THE GREAT WHY ( Part Two )

We, Americans have lived insolated lives from violent civil rebellions and the direct

Effect of war’s turmoil: The bullets and bombs shattering homes and communities.

Yet we, Americans have postured ourselves with an OMG appalled sanctimonious attitude

About the measures our government has needed to employ to insure the continued existence

Our luxury to freely and comfortably thrive as: Families, friends, communities and a society.

The closest resemblance Americans have of a war torn image has been the aftermath

of our natural disasters from hurricanes, tornadoes and severe flooding. However

There is one significant difference between a war torn country and natural disaster events.

It is a people’s opportunity to unify and rebuild verses the civil liberties of a people

being either fought for or the being forced into submission:

The blood shed, The lives imprisoned with fear.

Thus we have a Bradley Manning and a Edward Snowden.

Are they Heroes?

WHO’S REALITY

Events and Circumstances

The lack of, The omission of

Life’s Sweet Romances

Events and Circumstances

Hammering Us

The Rippling Effect moving us down upon our knees

Repeatedly, The Branches of Our Simple Lives – Snapped

Our Harkening echoing across the landscape of Our Trials and Tribulations

It is as though Our Tears are just watering weeds

And the Mighty Hand of the Status Qua will not let us go

Two Beams ~ Our Tragedies and Our Comfortable Nonchalance of Privilege

America’s Via Dolorosa

Sacrifice and Struggle, Sacrifice and Struggle

The Working Poor shall bear the Our Crown Of Thorns

So We kick the can of day to day living

And whistle a tune of ordinary satisfaction as illustrious living

When there is no wind or current on the river

And we silently worship the flowers

Of Apathy and Ignored Dissatisfaction

And make bounty upon our tables

Technology’s gadgets and textiles made in other countries

My Mother’s sewing machine no longer hums

Thank God She taught me: The needle, the thread, the thimble

The Milk and Honey upon this Dear, Preciuos Land

Is Our Belief that We, The ordinary person ~ Is Powerless ~

And the reverberations of such a belief ~ Is ~

That They ~ Not We ~ Have Won The Game

Power and Deception

Are the reflections in the Mirror ~ Grinning ~

~ This Shall Always Be Your Reality ~
