As prophets of doom

Conjure, jibe…

Cajole …and connive…

 

Their way past

Truth…

 

Take the stage…

Promote injustice, hate… lies…  

 

Citing clever little stories…

 

Designed to twist the facts

In such ways, seemingly to justify  

 

Vicious attacks                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Rallies, which paint targets

On opposing causes…

 

Setting the stage

For the usual suspects  

 

To make a simple infraction, implied…

With a slight inversion

 

Turned inside out

 

And converted…

With a twinkle in the eyes…  

 

Dropped …like a bomb…

 

Between …a long pause…

As it continues to build momentum

 

Hits, like a hammer

And explodes… into a twisted lie…

 

Triggers …seething rage…

 

Proving, only that,

The usual safeguards

 

To protect …and preserve …liberty…

 

Can no longer serve

The noble intended purpose…  

 

The just, brave and the true

Fought and died, for…

 

And has returned,

 

Again…

Again and again…  

 

At least every other lifetime…

 

Across…

All space …and time…  

 

Not that there …has not been…    

Inadequate …accountability…

 

Many, many, many…

Many and many more times…  

 

By those…

Who oppose, blatant…

Abuse …of the system…

 

With allies…

Who…  

 Support …our views…

 

Devoted more to true justice and fairness

Than …lip service…

 

And tongue lashing

…might ever provide… 

 

A honest mans stand…

Giving good service

 

 Beyond…  

This place

 

Meeting at high noon

…or midnight…

 

 

The

Appointed

 

Space

 

…and time…

 

Where, when …and how…

 

Providence demands  

Where the battle brewed

 

 

 Fear of loss of life and limb

Pain of injury …sting of death

Dedicated, more

Than just their lives, to do

 

Nearby…

On the far side…

 

Now, as long standing enemies  

Having long since infiltrated  

 

The locus of power…

Having schemed to the extreme…

 

To maximize pain …and profits…

 

In the position

To approve or reject, proposals

 

To spend the peoples gold…

Against this evil deed …inspired by those    

Who…  

Spread fear, invoke panic

…and…     

Master in inflicting pain and suffering…

Because…

 

That’s

What they

…do

Great pen! A well pinging and pointed message for those in need of the awareness and inspiration to fart out apathy and get up and now do what it is WE MUST Do! Continue to tell it like it is, Charles2. Peace and Love, M. Lowe.
