PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

marveling in the near malevolent mainstream

on ward back tracks the believed heads of state

with all the implied implications and possible

consequences

now each seems in guarded retrospect

more than just a little too late

the figure head

as I often revel in calling him

drags his expensively shod feet

even as in public he voices a somewhat

feigned concern

as 'Mirrored Bridges' to the wisdom of a

hopeful future systematically start to

falter and burn

the Captain as I will call him is the body

of the unified belief

where as I myself, in short would like to

believe that our uninformed stay is not

quite so for-see-ably brief

if we allow the figure head to outstay his

welcome come late 1996

all we will likely have to work with

will be some debris, garbage and some bricks

yet, if we choose to replace his company with

another hopeful who is, lets say sympathetic

to the mother's cause

we could not only exchange figureheads

but possibly quite a few previously unchanged

laws

the mass murder machines and their careless

backers could be put out of business yet

strongly put in each his place

then hopefully they and others will see

that life is not a poker game

nor the government their personal ace...........
