abuse of power

in broad daylight

score one for my narcissist
passive aggressive anarchist 
a bloody hole dark red 
in the back of his head
his constant petty torts
cloud my minds thoughts

hate controls me

in broad daylight
under a bed 
under a bed 
in broad daylight

in broad daylight
under a bed 
under a bed 
in broad daylight

i call on my muse to bless
her name is sensual goddess 
my super hero will decompress
she will drone out my nemesis
rewire the circuits in my brain
give me the colors of the rain

she signs our love infinity

in broad daylight
under a bed 
under a bed 
in broad daylight

in broad daylight
under a bed 
under a bed 
in broad daylight

play that loop again
play that loop again
and again

mass segregation

 

 

...............

 

this heinous monstrosity of segregation,

that drains the blood, sweat, and tears 

from generations of poor, illiterate, and downtrodden,

rapist of family values, and murderer 

of productivity and hard working hands, 

the dream of 5 year old boys whose aspirations 

of being like daddy wind him up on a dime bag street corner,

grappling frazzled bits and pieces, 

the remnants of a worn out dream, 

passed down through a shackled and indoctrinated 

system of beliefs twisted by the hands of greedy governments,

and corporate schemes that trade lives for money.

 

this heinous monstrosity of segregation,

convincing mothers they are better off alienated 

from their children,

and that a father's life for his son or daughter

is worth nothing more than three meals and a cot,

a place to rot, and a sacred book of scripture only given

to wash the sins of those hands that profit

from the years of ones held captive and sometimes murdered

for crimes unworthy of the time,

hours and years robbed from innocent loved ones

who pay the burden of the brainless zombies

taking pride in their jobs that torture the downtrodden.of societies

in every nation.

 

this the system we take pride in, 

that we divide in, 

husband from wife, father from son,

left with no remaining choice in the end,

but to sever all ties completely from everyone,

draining any scintilla of scraps 

from the family 'till of loving plenty',

no leftovers from the dinnertime table of togetherness

savored for a child in need of 

what it means to awaken to the sound of unity,

a now lost and forgotten concept taught only 

in lieu of a desire for mass destruction and for-profit policing 

of innocent citizens,

where are the people who say they care about the children?
