Thursday, 5/20/10 - Crooked




Things just seem a little more crooked these days.

Democrats, Republicans.

Policemen, Priests, Politicians.

Slick oil companies spewing sugar-coated stories of our sea-bed slowly sickening under their sludge.

Wealthy but worthless Wall Street weenies whining and wanting our weakend working wages.

Capitol Hill cronies counting contributions and craftily concealing co-conspirators.

The saw toothed economic outlook moving like a mad man's masticating maw.



Take heed,
the man whispering warnings,
and breathing bewares,
of thieves who would steal,
from purse or pocket,
the coins and currency,
that he is already
expertly extracting.

Go green!
Green! They scream.
Opinions attached to autos.
Pieces of plastic and paint,
Millions of them,
Made in Malaysia,
Cargo carried,
City to shorline,
Shoreline to shorline,
Shoreline to city,
To sit on store shelves,
Air-conditioned articles awaiting another
unconscious consumer.

  1. Very good alliterative poetry regarding the present day "mess" and two very illustrative photos to under-gird the image.
