log jam ( an unapologetic rant )
Posted: December 4th, 2016, 12:29 pm
the elections are over
a television war of talking heads,
it's true, they have no bodies
their pelvis is digital, Elvis
turns in his grave, the country
is split like a seasoned log
down the middle...disparate chunks
of oak sensibilities, solid in aim
lie on the ground cleaved
from the loins of love and hate
from a single ax, divided
by the hand of destiny, conservative
liberal.....is that really
the only choices,.. as we thirst
for a satisfying voice, but in the end
both voices are garbled like
Charlie Brown, raspy like
Darth Vader, and Congress
has turned to concrete, a log jam
of bickering armies that only
give lip service to "we duh people"
it's all so brilliant, they've duped
the 99% to fight with each other
as the 1% picks their pockets bare
then lights a cigar with a C-note
that further lights the gasoline
to the perpetual fire.... let them
fight in hell over the crumbs
