What legacy you profess 

adventure(greatness)

was supposed to be 

spreading hope and dignity, 

freedom, and liberty 

and with great finesse


yet, not by your history 

which suggests

an alternative spin 

to the universe 


in directions opposite, 

the intention extreme 

obscured by circumstance 


travelling dimensions unseen

though 

wheels of history turn 


truth, into 

dreams of conquest


by any and every means 

positive

or otherwise, 


turn diagonally across 


every fiber 

in the fabric of your story

exposing fault lines 

of invisibility woven 

between the truth told 

and the lies obscured

of friendships betrayed, 

executions staged

needless sacrifices made; 

the price good people 

paid while, taking part 

in the course of history as 


it is/was being made, 

the double-helix of time, 

bends

the minds behind the music, 

meet the conductor

directing the movements, 

as each note is played 

as it pertains to people 

relative to you and me


the spaces 

draped in silence… 

massacres, yet 

the stories blur to gray… 

there, as if to vanish…

where no one hears their cries. 

The assassins, 

prone to violence 

still untried, sidestep reality, 

without redress… 

so long as they hold true 

and hold silence, 

meanwhile, the music 

of false confidence, 

Tapping unspent reserves 

of an entire nation…

Siphon the people’s treasury 

bending rules 

in favor of the few…

supporting bigotry as necessary

Exploit dead men 

with a storyline, 

painting 


visions of glory, 

stories worth following 

make heroes/sheroes 


grant some illusion of strength

Sowing confusion in the ranks…  


Since we’re being frank, 

exposing to harm

The
Supporting cast 

for your invasion fleet


While your flagship… 


is sunk, by truth
