Scalded
The corporate machine
has us mesmerized
with their lies;
the news media,
their jester
to our unsuspecting minds.
Unlike boiling water
they won't disappear
but continue to scald us
with environmental pollution
racial genocide and slavery
under the guise of globalization
in degrees only the adept can perceive;
high stakes poker
with no future in the balance.
The dark tower is upon us
and we are collectively blinded
to its purpose

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
