…
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
