the last can of worms

Post by cmoore » May 1st, 2017, 7:01 pm

everything has been hidden behind a veil
the veil is not a beautiful hanging cloth
it is a sheet with images projected on it
a white sheet like a piece of paper
but the writer, the poet writes on an empty
surface

the veil is like a patchwork of flags in the march
of history, which is an illusion that was created
by a faction to keep the rest of us controlled
history is not a pretty picture, the Bible is not
the few lines that teach us what is good
are the exception, we get a tiny bit of good
and otherwise we get a mountain of bad

but the last can of worms has been opened
we all are treated as if we are lost at sea
that we are nothing but a commodity
this is why the surrealists talked about
commodity fetish,

this is why Bukowski said we are born into this
we are born into this madness dumping junk
on us from above and below, making us walk
on hypodermic needles, feeding us devil food
filling our missing skies with unknown objects

we don't need your vampire wars
that make the bankers their blood money
while the planet we live on suffers from lack
of care for all living things

it's time for the revealing, pull the veil back,
once and for all, let the healing light shine in

the two party system alone, is a big ruse...the republi-cant's and the demo-don'ts are both in bed with Wall St.....and little will happen at he ballot box in terms of paradigm shift...you're right we need to expose the lies for what they are...bring a new awareness to the masses...the kind that happened with the birth of unions...sending more young impressionable citizens off to war isn't going to stop this plunge to the bottom either....beware of manufactured fear of your neighbors....lift the veil !
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
