"The State Of The World"
“The State Of The World”
Justice is within the corners and margins of what is supposedly true history,
Elections are distractions while the real business of government continues, having nothing to do with honesty which it loathes,
Clever men placate the obtuse majority with grand and eloquent speeches,
Flag wavers cheer while truth continues to be raped by reality,
The human condition is foolishness as platitudes are expressed extolling great virtues which no one in the greedy seats of government has,
Hope festers away and slowly dies,
No one has intellectual sense enough to read between the lines of history occurring right now,
Great civilizations continually die as good women and men procrastinate in hopes that someone will save the country,
I knew an honest man but he died while searching for his twin,
If someone would act perhaps the world will survive.
